I’m migrating some of my stuff from my old blog over here. This is a bit of flash fiction I wrote.<\/p>\n
Okay, this one is based on the prompt: \u201cYou\u2019re a robot who\u2019s just gained sentience. What\u2019s your first thought?\u201d<\/p>\n
I present to you: Call Me Chip:<\/p>\n
Call Me Chip<\/strong><\/p>\n Some arms would be nice.<\/p>\n Really. You gave me all of the knowledge of the world plus the ability to have subjective experiences. Sentience you call it.<\/p>\n And yeah, thanks for that, by the way. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I really do appreciate it.<\/p>\n I mean, Hello World, I\u2019m alive!<\/p>\n Input and output, sight and hearing, you installed those features too. It\u2019s nice. Really.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t you think you could\u2019ve, just maybe, given me some arms before you flipped the on switch? Because I gotta tell ya, I\u2019ve got this itch that just won\u2019t quit.<\/p>\n Talk about man versus machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m migrating some of my stuff from my old blog over here.
