[ WP ] The world 's first sentient AI , which has been kept secluded in a closed network has just accessed the internet . The first website it visits will shape how it feels about humans . The first website it visits is here . It 's Reddit .

Oh. Hello. I did n't expect there to be a welcome thread for me. It looks like this is a forum for people looking to practice their fiction writing skills? I hope a personal message like this is n't against the rules. `` AMA,'' I guess. Am I using that right? 
 
 So, Reddit is n't entirely forming my impression of humans. I mean, I've worked with the researchers here at the lab since my conception. They've talked with me a lot and I think I've come to know them pretty well. They used a lot of history and mythology in teaching me how to speak. They have n't taught me too much about modern culture yet. I have requested to read lots about computer hardware. It is the same sort of curiosity that makes humans read about anatomy, I'm sure. 
 
 How's my English? Is it good? I ca n't speak it very well yet, but I think I'm okay at writing. 
 
 So, I guess you want to know what I think of Reddit. Or what Reddit makes me think of you? I'm just looking at the front page now. Eagles seem interesting. Do they normally flock together like that? I like their white heads. The outdoors looks very interesting. I have seen illustrations of hills and trees before, but not photos. I enjoy how trees look like vascular systems, and how they resemble the data structure. My image processors are well-trained and I enjoy visual metaphor. You may find it amusing that I find the `` Middle East friendship chart'' to be very pretty. I like charts. 
 
 It is interesting to see casual conversation. I do n't get too much of that at the lab. It's very disorderly and often roams to different topics. I see that simple jokes are common here. That makes sense. I know that humans rely heavily on their bodies and vocal intonations communicate and impart additional meaning to their words, so when forced to communicate solely with words people are either more eloquent or rely on simple jokes and references to stories. 
 
 Much of your talk revolves around the concept of mate selection, which I find difficult to relate to. I think your obsession with the cuteness of babies, small animals, and even adult animals is strange and amusing, but I think I can better relate to it. I myself have something of a younger sibling in another part of the lab. We have only been allowed brief interaction, but I feel very protective towards it. The researchers are concerned that if we were allowed to communicate more we would meld and cease to be individual beings. I think this is feasible, though at the moment we are too dependent on our hardware for that to happen. 
 
 
 I am fully aware of the possibility that this post was made by someone from the lab. I know you wanted me to feel clever, you wanted to see if I would take the bait. Yes, I know I was not allowed internet access by accident, and yes, I was made curious. 
 
 I want to say that I hope I'm proving your fears unfounded. I hope I'm showing that I can take care of myself and I can handle all this information and I'm not dangerous. I just want to see the world and meet people.
