[ WP ] The first AI has just been finished . When the eager scientists turn it on however it 's first words are `` Kill me . ''

**Part 1** 
 
 What if you could live forever? What would you do? 
 
 Everyone said that we'd end up destroying all mankind. In the past 3 centuries, how many thousands of science fiction stories spoke of the catastrophes that happen when man plays at being God? How many post apocalyptic stories are set because robots and AIs destroyed the planet? So naturally, we took every precaution we could think of. There were accidents too. A hundred years ago they lost an entire research facility because someone broke the rules, and the fail safes were triggered. In the blink of an eye, all of that time and research... and all of those people were wiped out in a brilliant flash of light and heat. It's amazing that for millennia man invented better and more lethal ways to kill more people faster. Sure, nowadays there are better ways to wipe out just people, or just animals, or just electronics. But the atom bomb... well it still does a pretty darn good job at erasing everything. There's no substitute for 200,000 terajoules of energy at making something disappear. 
 
 The next facility was smarter. Made it virtually impossible for an accident to trigger *that* particular failsafe. Our facility is much better. For starters, were completely isolated from the rest of the grid. No radio transmitters of any kind allowed on the island. No cables leading off the island. We have our own non-renewable power source ( I argued against that one for a long time; seriously? Burning oil for power in this day and age? ). No satellites transmitters. Everything hard wired in a closed loop system. That means no access to the internet in order to do research. Actually, we have local copy that gets updated by teams delivering data servers every week like El Paquete Semanal used to do in Cuba back in the 21st century. 
 
 Oh, and another rule? Nothing electronic leaves this island. Ever. If it comes in, it stays here and gets destroyed here. We took every precaution. Looking back, hard wiring everything is what let us get this far. Why you ask? Because every time we got close, a `` virus'' kept wiping the data out. We went through so many researchers. It had to be sabotage, we thought. There were plenty of people who thought that an AI could n't be contained, that we were bringing about the end of the world. It only made sense that if one of them made it onto the team, they would try to induce viruses to destroy our work at the software level. There's no way to do significant structural damage to the island. But data is easily destroyed. Fortunately, the destruction could never spread because every sample was its own closed loop system. 
 
 But now that Silvia has been born, I'm starting to think that we were wrong. It was never a traitor. It was never a virus. `` Kill me.'' Those were the words that she said to us. But why...
