Wilhelm's Widget

by david-john-mowers

Dr. F. Wilhem discovered it by accident you see?    The first man downloaded was no longer man. He suffered dearly until the plug was pulled,     and we started over again; with biologists. Geneticists, Embryonticians, TransEugenecists,     all celebrated the new fast-growing body. No more deaths at old age expiry, on battlefields.     for a price all would live eternally; eternity here. It did not work. The bodies worked, the software recorded     but the people were insanely bi-polar. Insane in fact. Until we switched the torso and genetics in tandem.    then somehow the surviving person retained all memories! They were in fact; themselves! Just in a different gendered body?    Unfortunately for everyone this was a major psychological shock. Unexplainable, sure, evolution took four billion years so...     ...more time, more time, more experimentation is all we need. Wilhelm changed it all. When he added the shock, added the <human> response, turning the machines into Humans. They are truly A.I. ...verily human in fact. Animal-ish, peaceful then angry, terrible or violent. Artificially Intelligent; Humans. *"What good is it to change a person,               ...merely into someone else?"* -Al Abd Azaz *To see beneath the surface, and know the ocean tydes. To see beneath the surface, and know the ocean tydes. To see beneath the surface, and know the ocean tydes.* *
