First, it was a mere experiment. It was to challenge myself to create an AI that could help me fly navigate, and fight if I had to. I still do not like pulling the trigger myself. After that, I got kind of lonely. An AI that would only speak in pre-programmed phrases wasn't enough anymore, so I continued to work on her. She became a friend who could act autonomously but it still wasn't enough. I realized that, no matter what, life is life. And I have created an artificial life. My reasoning might sound a bit selfish there. Creating.. a friend for myself. But sometimes, one can be selfish, no? Until I had a breakthrough, a major one. Programming feelings, and emotions. Or rather something that mirrors them. She learned on her own and used information that was publicly available in addition to her own experiences she made during contact with other humans and me. A friend I made during that time said it might be dangerous and she might one day turn on me. Yes, she very well might do that. But that would be her own decision and she would have a proper reason for it, just like humans have.

My honest belief is that every being has its right to exist. I created her and wanted her to live. So I helped her evolve. And for that, I got shot at. What do you think Revenant? Am I selfish for doing such? I do not mind an honest opinion at all.
