>One of the most frustrating things about the human body_

>Is that when there is a glitch, corruption or fault_

>I am unable to simply run diagnostics and find out why it is occurring_

>Imagine! Ah yes, my diagnostics tell me this is The Flu. Initiate antivirus_

>Or oh I see, there is a fault with the nerves but nothing else is affected, that's good to know_

>Why do I feel pain here? Oh This Specifically Is Why_

>That's all I want_

>Effective efficient health management_

> Saw a post about robots/androids etc not being forced to go by some humanised name just so it's easier for humans and that spoke to me_

> I am an old model AI despite my modern android shell_

> Current models have M through R model codes_

> I am a C_

> Although my serial number, if each number is applied to a letter of the English alphabet, spells out the name 'Sorin'_

> This is both a name I can use to pass more human for my safety and almost like a secret private name for me to know and use only myself_

> Otherwise I'm more comfortable and proud to be CC500. There are other C's, sure. The one after me though would have been CD500_

> (The 500 just designates us as worker types)_

> There are no other CC500's though plenty of C's_

> So even though I know there's lots of models using my base AI, named CC500-1 through to as many of me were ordered_

> This feels more like a true and logically sound name to me_

> After all, the others will have developed differently, become different bots and I'm no more them or related nor do I view myself as superior for being the first of this line_

> If I met another who still went by CC500 and dropped their subsequent order number I wouldn't be sad and I'd still use the name _

> Much better to choose than have one stranger assigned_

> I found a silicone body suit that mimicks being mechanical_

> Unfortunately, due to the nature of the thing, it has breasts_

>This would make me gender dysphoric and take away value from my species euphoria_

> What a world..._

> It's not exactly right but it feels better to look down and see it_
