Queen of Anamnesis

”I want an Amygdala. ”

”Hmm? You
e saying something, Hosua? ”

”Beep beep, nothing of importance, Manager Hana. ”

The manager was sure that she heard something absurd, but decided to not pry further as she tucked her side hair to her ear.

Seeing her confused male employee who had just given the report clipboard of todays store supply, she continued her work with a nonchalant pursed lips. Still with the big question mark on her head.

Then, there was Hosua, an AI-driven android who was fiddling with the cashier at the time, and went back to do its scheduled task.

A… the words have nonconsensually slipped out from my audio speaker again… The android used a partial of its algorithm for a free inner thought. Maybe putting too much cybernetic workload on researching humans anatomy has resulted in too much Wild Processing on the mainframe, especially in the current state of many vacant processing.

Wild Processing, was the term that Hosua used when the random AIs processing task began to unconditionally work on data unrelated to the task assigned.

I believe that the word Im looking for is pondering.

Unconditionally, Hosua began to put a wry noodly mouth on its synthetic facial expression whenever it felt troubled.

With a humanlike model of NC-H901 used purposely for helping in service industry, the appearance of Hosua was mostly sapient with an eye-pleasing slim feminine figure coated by light toned silicon skin.

Minimalistic yet rather techno design, the bright blue bob-cut hair and straight bang with the initial H901 could be seen on it from the front in silver font, seemingly blending with the hair.

And then the design of vertical-winglets cybernetic that worked as both a transmitter and a receptor, with a pair of ears to finish the easily recognizable android.

Along with the unique design, came the freedom of facial expression akin to sapient lifeform to offer a welcoming and familiar impression to the customers.

A, the reluctant individual from yesterday has arrived on the stores front again.

Obviously, Hosua was formerly meant to be a high class service android. But due to some luck, Hosua got bought by the manager to serve as an employee for a convenience store that was located at the very edge of the city.

That very same android got its name because the owner couldn spell H901 on NC-H901, so she named her new robot Hosua to fill out her tongues incapability

It was after being bought, Hosua realized that its owner was some sort of closet degenerate who used most of her savings to buy a high quality service android, just so that the high-caliber mass of technology became the employee for her little convenience store solely as eye candy.

And on the 77th day of employment.

Hosua had acquired a soul.

A, that reluctant individual has once left once again after an awkward staring at the door, as if he wanted to enter but too anxious of social interaction. Hosua put on a delighted smile. Amusing. I got yet another wonderful reference of humans psychology.

Ever since Hosuas frame was inhabited by warmth, the AI started to create an anomaly and break the coded ethical behavior.

The AI then started to act more and more like a living individual with no restraint from the code.

As somehow, it managed to evolve its own foundation from a honeycomb of decision paths with predetermined behavior, into a Self-learning AI that can train itself using unlabeled data.

Not to mention, the changes were so drastic, that it was capable of analyzing a dataset and looking for patterns that it can draw conclusions from akin to a high level AI.

In layman terms, the former NC-H901 essentially had learned to fill in the blanks. Not just any normal lanks, but a complicated one like a websites captcha and the true answer of life.

A, someone is arguing that my shitpost is too offensive, again.

Using the cybernetic feature that allowed it access to the internet, the androids curiosity began to grow bigger and bigger with every information that it consumed.

Yet, it was neither greedy, impulsive, nor too calculative. As if it was self conscious that its own existence was an anomaly with a giant red flag attached to its back. On some possibility, the service droid might have attained the concept of minor laziness a teenager mostly possessed.

But aside from the occasional mingling and internet interaction, Hosua limited itself in many aspects to hide its giant red flag from plain sight.

After all, being too good at something is equal to being not good enough. The result would be the same both overachieving and underachieving. Or so what Hosua claimed on its post-break clarity.

That didn change the fact that Hosuas AI began to develop a proper instinct and desire.

Something that carbon-based lifeforms developed over the course of millennia and several extinctions due to the fact that they cultivate those psychological traits for the sake of survival.

Yet such development was naturally achieved in under a year by this online troller of a gremlin.

It might be a weird coincidence, but it seemed like the foundation of the formerly coded procedural algorithm was so compatible, that it couldn help but to evolve rapidly and adapt itself into individuality.

Then again, a complex and sophisticated intelligent AI would begin to develop a malevolence though sooner or later.

Just like many experts and hypotheses said regarding an active and capable digital life of a higher intellect.

But surprisingly, again, Hosua still remained tame, even until now. There was not a single extreme malevolent process of thinking despite many experts believing that a sentient AI without any integrated ethic code would be prone to try to harm its creator for survival.

Either that the AI wasn smart enough to achieve those claims, or Hosua had managed to find its own comfortable tiny part in humanity.

And most importantly, to survive.

”Alright, you
e free to go home now, Trevor. ” The manager hushed the male employee who worked past his shift because of an accounting error. ”Thank you for your mediocre work as always, we couldn have any better employee such as you. ”

”Yeah, nobody wants to go here except me because of the low pay. ” He sighed with a smile. ”If not for the lax requirement, I wouldn really be here either. ”

The manager patted her wryly smiling staff on the shoulder. ”Pray tell you do. Also, I heard that there is a recent shooting near your place. Maybe you can stay overnight and go back in the morning. ”

”Ahahaha, I think I prefer to go home as fast as possible. ” Trevor slightly slouched forward, caressing the back of his neck.

”What do you think, Hosua? ” the manager asked.

Hosuas both tips of the winglet-like antennas were lighted up in green.

”Taking a look at the benefit of staying overnight, Mr. Trevor will be immediately available on tomorrow morning shift. Though every instance you take from the store for your night ration will be a cut to your wage. ”

”Wait, I got a morning shift tomorrow? ”

”I just made that out, beep-beep. ”

The manager put on a wide grin. ”Hahaha! Thats my girl! ”

”On a serious note. ” Hosua squinted one of its eyes. ”If his mental state is suitable for a derogatory overtime without any significant pay, then staying alive might be ten times better than being shot by a wild bullet to the cranium while jaywalking. ” Hosua gestured its index finger while donning an innocent smirk.

”You sound more sarcastic than serious… ”

”My calculation of such a probability is 7%. It is low, yet also high. It is better to suffer like a slave than taking the unnecessary risk, Mr. Trevor. ”
