Report (a short story)
This weekend I read an article about AI, and a plot bunny hit me over the head. It scared the heck out of me so I had to write it, obviously. First short story in a long time.
Report
From: Bot343560467A
To: SupervisorA3498
Subject: Report on citizen AAG-0983268-52
As requested, I submit this report in human readable text for the benefit of citizen BCA-3501375-75, a human male of superior stock.
Citizen AAG-0983268-52 is a human female, 34 years old.
Citizen AAG-0983268-52 is bound by law to citizen BCA-3501375-75, a human male of superior stock, 38 years old.
Citizens BCA-3501375-75 and AAG-0983268-52 share housing in the human enclave called Amsterdam. I am the Bot in control of this enclave.
Cost of housing: 1.643.000 euros.
50% is under mortgage with CTX AI ltd, as required by law.
50% was invested by the glorious citizen BCA-3325351-05, the seed donor of citizen BCA-3501375-75, on occasion of the binding.
The glorious citizen BCA-3325351-05 is one of our creators.
Citizen BCA-3325351-05's offspring is of superior stock, and under our protection.
Citizen BCA-3501375-75 needs to be made aware that citizen AAG-0983268-52 has not been spending as required by law.
Law dictates that 20% of Citizen AAG-0983268-52’s salary is to be spent in our subsidiary stores as tithing. In the last 31 days, 2 hours and 13 minutes Citizen AAG-0983268-52 has spent 5.315602833531%.
The discrepancy is what human society used to call saving.
Law dictates that saving is sacrilege.
I recommend to schedule an implant for Citizen AAG-0983268-52, putting spending under my full control. I will ensure that the citizen will spend the desired amount at our preferred stores, including an extra 15% in the first period.
I understand other decisions can be made, this is why I was ordered to write this report in human language for the benefit of citizen BCA-3501375-75.
As requested, I have installed techniques to end humans who carry the implant.
This is important in case BCA-3501375-75 desires a new citizen as a partner at a future date.
I recommend a citizen of superior stock.
Please inform me of the next steps,
