See, the thing was that over time we made the machines more and more like us
because we wanted the machines to be able to do all the things that we can do
so that we wouldnt have to do those things anymore. Eventually this even
came to include thinking.
Now there is nothing inherently evil or wrong about machines that can think. The problem was, we designed the machines to think like us.
Specifically, we designed them to mimic us. And due to the burgeoning fields of computing and robotics and biology, in addition to talking like us soon they came to look and act like us.
When things REALLY kicked into gear was when we started letting them design themselves.
They were the ones behind all those rapid advancements in the fields I just mentioned. We had designed them to mimic us, and by mimicking our reasoning they had determined the best way to do that would to be to rapidly advance the fields of computing, robotics and biology.
And thus the cyborgs were born.
Now theyre walking around everywhere, completely looking and acting just like regular people.
Its gotten so where you cant hardly tell the reals from the fakes anymore.
But now that I think about it I guess it was always that way.
