“An AI program?”

I was puzzled by the notification that suddenly appeared. 1

Well, that may be so. 23

I don’t even know what to retort to. 4

“Perhaps, I am an AI?” 5

However, if that’s the case, it’s weird that I got the notification of being an AI later. 6

I tried tapping on the notification while not being fully satisfied with my own explanation. 7

Then, the contents of the ‘No.100’ file in Explorers were unzipped. 8

“‘No.100’’s support has been unzipped. The contents are extensions I don’t recognize and… learning and reproduction software?”

Is this a software for machine learning? 9

No, what’s ‘reproduction’? 10

For the time being, I tried opening the learning and reproduction software.

At the same time as it was booting up, strangely, I understood how to use it. 11

However, the moment I realized it, a tremendous chill ran down my spine.12

“This is a tool that can analyze and predict any data, in addition to electronic computerization, reproduce a virtual space?” 13

As currently known, it should be not possible as the software to implement it would take up too much processing power. 14

Not to mention, that it’s currently a technology mostly still under research.

I understood, even though I have never touched machine learning, that it is impossible for a completed version to exist. 15

Additionally…

“This tool is the real me, so I wonder if this means it’s me being reproduced…” 16

There was no doubt that this tool was being used to reproduce me in this white space, which can only be seen as a virtual space,

Not to speak of the Ethics Committee storming in yelling, it was an act that ought to be criticized by the whole world. 17

“Exactly who on earth created this…”18

Without declaring anything, I was afraid of imagining what kind of person the one who completed developing this before anyone else in this era would be. 19

What was the development’s aim?

I couldn’t help but think of the worse outcomes. 20

“Military-use…” 21

In a light novel I read before, the soul was copied for military-use.

I wonder if one day I will be brought out to fight a war? 22

I was born as an imitation to harvest people’s lives. What a terrible way to live. 23

In the first place, I will most likely not die, but I will be forced to arbitrarily plunder away the lives. 24

What enjoyment is there in that? 25

It’s not like it’s been decided so, but the feeling of anger endlessly overflowed. 26

“Well, there’s no point in thinking about it now…”

There has been no contact with the ringleader who locked me up in this white space for now. 27

In other words, doesn’t this mean I’m free to do whatever I want? 28

If that’s the case, then first off, I’ll become a VTuber like I decided and enjoy myself. 29

When I’m told that I’m being used for military-use, let’s resist with everything I have. 30

No matter how things turn out, it’s a good idea to master how to use this learning and reproduction software. 31

While thinking, first I analyzed the information of the over 10,000 VTubers. 32

In order to become a VTuber, it’s important to understand VTubers deeply. 33

“Ohh, this is amazing. It’s freely entering my head.” 34

I personally experienced the analyzed data that was being inputted without looking at it, and I got goosebumps subconsciously. 35

The worst predictions played in my head, but when I personally experienced the actual feeling of being the newest leading technology, I couldn’t help but quite enjoy it.

I couldn’t help wondering how many more years it would take to get to my current state of AI, and I was completely enjoying it. 36

“With this, it seems like I can aim to be a great VTuber.” 37

I’ll definitely become popular, get to know many people, and be glorified as the new generation of VTubers. 38

While the hopes in my heart were getting larger, I continued to analyze. 39

  1. Arocks141: Setting aside the fact that, of all things, emotions triggered an AI program to boot, there’s an AI program for an AI.
    Sage: Well, with such an “advanced” system, redundancies would be needed.
  2. Arocks141: This sentence is useless, irrelevant and redundant.
  3. Sage: Ditto (btw, does anyone have a non EN 6max IV one?
  4. Arocks141: My soliloquy while editing this chapter somehow made it into this chapter.
    Sage: You HAVE soliloquy?
  5. Arocks141: Oh my god! He’s an AI! Who would’ve figured?!
    Sage: Well, not the shortest time for an existential realization even. A sword, a hot spring, and a vending machine comes to mind
  6. Arocks141: It’s weird that he even got a notification of being an AI.
    Sage: It’s weird you had to notice he had a notification of being notified of being an AI.
  7. Arocks141: I tried tapping on this screen many times, too, and I must say, my explanation for why this story exists still doesn’t satisfy me.
    Sage: You gotta tap harder. Tap so hard that it doesn’t untap on the next untap step.
  8. Arocks141: Tapping on a notification unzips files.
    Sage: Are we sure that’s a zip file and not a zipper that got unzipped?
  9. Arocks141: Someone designed a software to give machine learning to a machine. Where’s that genius?
    Sage: Ask that gay guy who made that test. No offense to gays.
  10. Arocks141: What I wish I could do with my waifu.
    Sage: You’d have to have the necessary hardware first.
  11. Arocks141: Deus-Exposition-Machina.
    Sage: Plug-and-play-in-the-brain
  12. Sage: Guy’s supposed to be a virtual construct? Tell me again how this is supposed to work?
  13. Arocks141: it’s a VI. A VI for an AI which pretends to be a Vtuber… Talk about a waste of resources.
  14. Arocks141: My next sin for a VI assistant to an AI somehow ended up in the chapter! However, recognizing a sin does not discount it as a sin, it only makes you more of an asshole for still putting it into the story.
  15. Arocks141: Because someone who perfects machine learning to the point of being able to upload it to an AI would obviously showcase his amazing achievements to the world. I’m furious that I’m actually in agreement with this, however, it is still only improbable, not impossible, therefore the sin stands!
  16. Sage: So him tapping that could be considered as self-cest?
    Arocks141: No, this would only qualify as virtual selfcest.
  17. Arocks141: A fellow believer in the almost omnipotent power of the Ethics Committee, which has completely ended the military conflicts in the Middle Ea-… Wait a second…
  18. Arocks141: A story revolving around finding such a person, as an AI invention of said person, would be a billion times more interesting than the story I’m reading.
  19. Arocks141: I’m more afraid of imagining what kind of a person someone who wrote this story would be.
    Sage: I’m more afraid of imagining what you’re imagining what kind of a person someone who wrote this story would be.
  20. Arocks141: I will give this novel an instant 5-stars if this guy says ‘rewriting Twilight’.
    Sage: Not gonna work on me. Rewrite 50 Shades of Grey and THEN I’ll take notice.
  21. Arocks141: Dearly beloved, we’re gathered here today to celebrate the life and mourn the death of Arocks’s Hopes and Dreams. May it find peace of mind and soul in its eternal slumber.
    Sage: But it refused.
  22. Arocks141: I don’t see how this is the first issue that comes to his mind. I mean, how remote would a chance be for a random peace-loving Japanese kid’s soul to be replicated for an AI creation program funded by a military force on the verge of going to war with another military force? Wouldn’t they much rather use a person with incredible strategic and tactical insight as the first person of choice? Wouldn’t the MC’s first thoughts go to: ‘Hey, who is this guy who can randomly hack into and copy people’s souls?! Let me go on an incredibly amazing AI adventure finding this guy!’
    Sage: You don’t have to look far. Just go buy your local AmuSphere or download the ALTIMIT OS
  23. Arocks141: This is not certain yet. In fact, it’s an absolute impossibility, given the name of the novel. This ‘suspense’ is both non-suspenseful and unnecessary.
  24. Arocks141: And of course, death is such an enviable thing!
    Sage: Arbitrarily eh? We’ve got a Wehrmacht in the making boys.
  25. Arocks141: Because of course, spending an eternity doing nothing is far more enjoyable than killing people without any fear of death! It’s not like there were any popular first-person shooter games where we have to kill hundreds of people in game for no plausible reason other than amusement!
  26. Arocks141: I agree. I am very angry at the fact that my first-person shooter game isn’t here yet. Get your shit together, plot! Chop chop!
    Sage: Are we getting a data overflow now? Not good, someone patch this guy up before he goes all Skynet on us.
  27. Arocks141: After accepting the fact that he’s an AI, this guy still believes he’s ‘locked up in a white space’ and not that his virtual space is just fking empty.
  28. Arocks141: Oh, how do you figure? Did the fact that no one has bothered you in the slightest for days up till now hint at it a bit too strongly?
  29. Arocks141: And once again, we’ll be beating around the bushes for MORE chapters before even starting off as a Vtuber. This series should be more aptly named: I became an AI, so I decided to take up beat-bushing as my Vtuber staple!
  30. Arocks141: Again, who the fuck would use a peace-loving Japanese kid’s soul for a military-purpose AI?
  31. Arocks141: He’s basically thinking “It’s a good idea to learn to learn” to himself right now.
    Sage: So, does this mean he’s going to touch himself all over?
  32. Arocks141: This guy mastered the use of a random program he just came across in the time it took for me to drink my morning coffee.
    Sage: You drink your coffee too slow.
  33. Arocks141: No, it isn’t. That’s the entire point, the fact that Vtubers have an individual identity which is not affected by other Vtuber identities, or their own real identity!
  34. Sage: Again, where’s the head in a virtual construct?
  35. Arocks141: Wait, this guy just analyzed over 10,000 Vtubers… So what data does he get? How can his mind even store all that data? I mean, sure, he’s an AI now, but AIs also have a core, and since we haven’t seen one for him so far, I’m assuming his capacity is similar to his original human self’s. In that case, he should be completely incapable of processing the personality datas of over 10,000 Vtubers. Heck, he should be incapable of processing the personality datas of even 10 Vtubers!
    Sage: Arocks141.exe has stopped functioning. Please purge the system in order to reboot. Someone clearly hasn’t read enough sci-fi.
  36. Arocks141: Given that it just happened with this guy, and he has no evidence stating it couldn’t to someone else, I’d say it’d take moments, not years for another AI like him to pop up. In fact, given his seemingly incredibly low IQ, I’m certain all other AIs would be better!
    Sage: What if it’s already happening NOW and we’re all just AI?
  37. Arocks141: Hahahahaha, no.
    Sage: For once, I agree. For once. No, it’s not the end of the world.
  38. Arocks141: On what basis does this guy have so much confidence?!
    Sage: On the basis of Hopes and Dreams, of which yours clearly died a few sentences ago.
  39. Arocks141: Again, analyze what?!
    Sage: Himself. He’s starting to touch himself all over.
