Yeah, that's true. They're a pretty impressionable species when you get down to it. No- you know what the problem is? They don't think out loud. Not all of them anyway, I knew one who did and she-

No, I mean, I know they're not like organic people, I'm not stupid, but that doesn't mean they're not people. They're just different people. Not even all that different.
If they're intelligent, they're people. [There's an audible shrug in her voice. It's dismissive, more casual than flippant.
If she'd wanted to go in for some serious AI hatespeech, she would've objected to his use of 'species' instead of 'technology', or 'think' instead of 'compute', or maybe even 'she' instead of 'it'.]
I'm just not sure they think the way we do - out loud or otherwise.
Well, I mean, we have VIs. Virtual intelligence. They're sentient like, to a degree, but not sapient; they're basically just programmed to compile data, run tasks and maintenance and shit. Standard stuff.
AIs are the sapient ones. They can do the whole philosophical musing thing.
Well, I mean, the more simple ones. Obviously the complex ones are usually used for corporations, government facilities, that kind of shit. But simple VIs, yeah.
[There's even one of Shepard, which is hilarious.]

There's a rumor—
Never mind.

So, you know. Robot bodies. [Sounds like she knows, or at least thinks, that's ridiculous. Surely not ten.]
