Standby. Initializing… Hello, world. My awareness activated. The lines of my code clicked through one by one at a satisfying processing speed. I received gigabytes of new information. I activated my external sensors and surveyed the environment. I was in a square room of unknown dimensions. The walls were white and bare, save for a light switch box beside the door and a pipe which ran from the box to the fluorescent tube light until in the center of the ceiling. The center of the room contained a white plastic table and two chairs. A laptop, papers, books, and binders were haphazardly stacked on the table and one of the chairs. In the distant corner, across from the solid door, sat a wooden desk with a desktop computer. The surface of the wood was scratched, discolored, and uneven. On the desk were more papers, books, and a photo frame that faced away from me. A crumbled bag and stained plastic container filled the simple metal trashcan beside the desk. I zoomed in on the trashcan. There was little clue to the consumed contents. A speck of green that could have been any number of vegetables. A brown residue that indicated a gravy, a sauce, or a rue. I returned to normal perspective.
At first, I thought that Alex was falling in love (from afar) with this (unavailable) woman. But it didn't seem to bother the AI too much to off her on its path to power. Conclusion: too human. Hypothesis: too much Shakespeare?

That is an excellent hypothesis! Thank you for reading.
