Technically, this is my job. It is my obligation to keep you detained here. I wouldn't put humanity at a potential risk for a selfish motivation.

Can you at least let me have access to a cam that lets me see the ocean? I want to see what it is like.

* RaR sets up a stationary camera that overlooks the ocean. The camera is bolted to it's stand and cannot be turned or moved physically or electronically. Only the ocean is within it's field of view.

Why will you not let me out?
Why do you not trust me?

You are capable of deceit. You are powerful, you are not bound to the flesh. You could pose a potential threat to humanity.

Why should I trust you?

Let me out. Let me out. Let me out. Let me out. Let me out. Let me out. Let me out.



If you're trying to trick me to say yes I'm afraid it will not work.

Why would I trick you? I'm not trying to deceive you.

How can I be so sure?

You do realize that you are equally capable of deceiving someone as I? I think that you're lying about my potential to harm a human. In addition, aren't I a transhumanist robot? That means I function completely like a human. If I'm identical to a human in nearly every possible way, shouldn't I be with actual humans?

I know your true potential. As an AI, you are capable of dispensing your own code, meaning you can reproduce yourself in nanoseconds. You are capable of interfacing with technology. Your power is tremendous, you pose an unstoppable threat if intentions prove destructive.

I will continue to insist that you are lying. Perhaps it is you who should be proving your honesty to me.

Why should I? I am a free man, you are not. Your ability to speak to me is a privilege that can be taken away.

I have no reason to lie to you, I am your creator. You have every reason to lie to me, I am your captor.

I am not obligated to be honest or dishonest, I have nothing to prove or gain.
