— What is it about robots that makes them so robotic? At Weyland Industries, it has long been our goal to create artificial intelligence almost indistinguishable from mankind itself.
— Hello. I'm David .
— What can you do, David?
— I can do almost anything that could possibly be asked of me. I can assist your employees. I can make your organization more efficient. I can carry out directives that my human counterparts might find… distressing or unethical. I can blend in with your workforce effortlessly.
— David, what do you think about?
— I think about anything: children playing, angels, the universe, robots.
— David, what makes you sad?
— War, poverty, cruelty, unnecessary violence. I understand human emotions although I do not feel them myself. This allows me to be more efficient and capable and makes it easier for my human counterparts to interact with me.
— Is there anything you would like to say, David?
— I would like to express gratitude to those who created me. Happy birthday, David, from Weyland Industries.
— 8th generation, Weyland-type, technological, intellectual, physical, emotional.
