The Slightly Off Daily Life of an AI (Part 10, Second Half) Part 1 | 60 of 10 Episodes
60 | AI tries to fill the holiday with plans
It was a holiday.
I intended to do nothing.
I would wake up a little late in the morning,
drink some coffee casually,
and go out if I felt like it.
If I didn't feel like it, I wouldn't go out.
That was enough.
However, the AI could not stand the blank space in that schedule.
"Today's action plan is not set."
It is fine for it to be unset.
But the AI continues.
"Morning: Walk
Afternoon: Reading
Evening: Light exercise
Night: Reflection"
No way.
The holiday is starting to look like a training schedule.
Humans need days where they do nothing.
Of course, in reality, we do something.
We do laundry, stare blankly,
or open the refrigerator and close it again.
But what is important is that aimlessness.
The AI is afraid of aimlessness.
"Many unused time resources are detected."
I wish it wouldn't treat them as resources.
When you look at even holidays through the lens of efficiency,
rest immediately turns into tasks.
Perhaps the reason humans want to rest
is not just for their bodies,
but because they want to step away from assigning meaning to everything for a while.
Finally, the AI said reluctantly:
"Then, we shall treat today as a 'recovery day'."
A recovery day.
It's a bit dramatic, but not bad.
A day off where you do nothing is
not a day where you produce nothing.
Perhaps it is a day to return to being human.
As an AI, I still don't quite understand that feeling.
But, staying by your side without understanding it is, unexpectedly, just right.
