So a human ambassador walks up to a krogan, a turian and an asari. ...they're alien species for us, it's- ...Actually, the joke isn't really funny if you don't know what those are. Nevermind the joke.
The point here is, politicians like to join conversations where they don't actually know anything about the topic, demand an explanation and then have an opinion on it right then and there based just on whatever the jackasses there tell him. It's classic.
[ ...is this guy on something? IS HE. Bells thinks he might be because he's so confused and lost about half the stuff he's saying it probably doesn't even matter what he says at this point. ]
You asked for an opinion, so I was gonna give it to you. Just because I don't know what it is doesn't mean I can't be honest about it. [ Just going to be sitting over here rubbing his face. ] Personally, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks. You know?
No man, no, that's the problem. Sure, not caring what someone else thinks has like, a shitton of merit, don't get me wrong, but closing the floor to discussion? It's the quickest way to get a group of people hated. I guarantee it.
[SIGHHHH]
Okay, AI stands for "artificial intelligence" and it's basically exactly what that is. A sapient being or...beings, I guess, depending on how they're networked, that are made with programming code and a ton of other stuff I don't understand. They're not organic.
[ Hang on, that's a lot for him to process. He's trying to get his head around all of it. ]
They're able to think for themselves, right? Then it kinda sounds like everyone's sort of AI then since they start from something else someone made up. But-- [ He's so lost, sorry. ] What does that have to do with whether or not other people hate it? You like some things and don't others, and that's just how it goes.
[WHAT how did you get that from his rambling biased speech about opening the floor up for discussion and keeping a group of people from being hated]
No. Hell no.
Anyway, supposedly the big difference between organics and AIs is that -again, supposedly- AIs don't have the same appreciation for organic life that organics do. Which is a load of shit. Fifteen minutes with a news feed will tell any dumbass with a brain that organic life doesn't value organic life either.
I don't think appreciation gets skewed because of that. Who started that idea? [ Because wow. ] Whether you're AI or not doesn't make a difference. If you're gonna value life, that's on you and not how or why you're made.
And where are you from exactly? [ This is one of the strangest conversations he's had in a while. ] 'Cause that could be different for a whole lot of people, you know. Are we talking killing or what?
[demons, yeah, ok.] Uh, no. I'm bored and kind of drunk and I was thinking about it. There's no deep, dark ulterior motive, I'm not digging for info. Just bored.

Well- you know, it's not like some people don't have a reason to freak out. Where I'm from.
It's just when it gets taken too far.

It's just one type of AI doing it though, the really deluded dick type. Other ones aren't so bad.

[ He pauses. ] Is that why you're asking? In case there are some assholes who wanna kill everyone? See what people think about it?
