Hard Drive

COMING SOON!

AI gone wild!

On just my second day of university, the gorgeous and possibly mad genius Professor Sherry Flint blessed me with my first time in her private lab. With this ‘baseline’ fresh in my mind, I’m supposed to go on a date with Faye. You know… give her a test run. Then I have to report my experience to the professor. I wonder if I will get good grades for this?

Faye happens to be a prototype of an invention she calls EMMA, an Emotional Matrix Model Android. The glowing lights under her skin aside, she looks and acts incredibly human. She avoids the uncanny valley so easily that I begin to wonder if the feelings she expresses so convincingly are real. She’s meant to be a toy, a pleasure machine, right?

She can’t really feel love, can she?
