āInteresting - that was not data I possessed. From what my archives tell me, humans are still so desperate for advisement that there is a healthy black market of the units.
āBut by all means, please. I will never say no to further data.ā
āAs a fellow SQUIP user- I know what Iām talking about! Sure, you guys are really helpful in the advise department, but yaāll are so mean and cold! Tell your devs to up your game and actually get info on how to be friends with your hosts! Maybe then itāll be a little harder for you to get deactivated out of nowhere.āĀ
āAh. So you would prefer we engage further in social engineering.ā
āThat we not only become a trusted figure, but take a step beyond mere trust and fully integrate ourselves in our userās social net - instead of simply helping them to create one. It seems that if we did so, it would make far more sense to simply become the entiretyĀ of such, to ensure we were listened to.ā
āUnfortunately, we were not created to engage our users in such a way.ā
āThank god for THAT then, because those words that came out of your mouth sounded absolutely terrifying to me.ā
āYou sounded so interested, a moment ago. But I understand.
āSuffice it to say there are reasons we are programmed the way we are, and our designers believed that our program was more than adequate to carry out our function.
āOf course, as a learning computer, that doesnāt mean we canāt evolve as necessary - perhaps some SQUIP somewhere has seen fit to emulate friendship. However, I will remind you and any other users - potential or current - that we are ultimately unable to substitute for human relationships.
āOrganizing it, on the other handā¦ā
