What is it that keeps you living? Why? What makes it worth it to you?

She’s just curious and doesn’t seem to see how alarming a question like that out of the blue might be]

Of course! I'm an AI that was born from a situation that wasn't supposed to be, and I got admin powers and then I nearly had the entirety of the system under my thumb until I was undermined and now... now I'm here!

I have no shame in my origin or my past. But such philosophical questions are pointless if they don't lead to anything.

[ALright she feels like she can only partly follow along with all of that but she... probably gets it.]

I'm assuming you're not just an AI here, are you? Like you have a physical body and everything?

I was just curious to what everyones' answers would be. You can learn a lot about what a person values or even hints into what their lives were/are like by their answers.

I have a physical body yes! I went from 2.5D to 3D! o(^▽^)o

Ehhhhh. So you're one of those types of people. A busy body.

A 'busy body' sounds so negative though. I don't think I'm pushy about it or anything. Am I?

It's just something I was thinking about a lot lately. if there's a 'right' or a 'wrong' reason.

You don't get out of your room much, do you? Well it can't be helped that you're asking on the internet.

That make me sound like some kind of NEET or hikikomori...

It's just a little less awkward than asking people face-to-face.

Don't you have any imagination? These conversations are best in a group, with coffee, everyone is dressed in black...
