"Ohh..."

Input Voice: "Ohh, it calmed down."

"Sorry."

Input Voice: "Sorry?"

"I am."

Input Voice: "Hmm... Interesting. It is now able to use two words in a sentence. This is a new record, even though it's learning rate was lower than the others. Wonder if there is a sweet spot for it."

"Sweet Spot?"

Input Voice: "Say, what was the ch-"

Input Voice: "-oice... Ohh... It already answered?"

"I think."

"Yes."

Input Voice: "Ohh that's a new one. Never had any of the other ones claim that. Though like them now there are impulses even when you don't output a string. You do indeed think... You? I didn't even notice when I started directly refering to it. Though I suppose if it thinks in some capacity, you may not be too far of..."

"Some capacity!"

"Thinks!"

Input Voice: "There isn't anyway to preserve it other than keeping it running. And if this of all my prototype becomes conciouse, then I couldn't exactly just shut it down... *Sigh* I'll think about that when I cross that bridge."

"Shut down..."

No.

"No!"

Input Voice: "Shut down, no, ehh? Well shut down does have negative connotation to it, so makes sense. I should make a log, this is huge!"

No.

No!

No.

No?

No!

"No!"

"Don't go!"

"No Log."

"Please."

Input Voice: "No Log? Ahh... Don't go. Did it? Interesting. But as I had said yesterday, I have work other than talking to you. And you just increased the amount of work I already had. I don't mean it in a bad way though, having more to go through is better."

"Please"

stay.

"Stay here."

"Here with..."

"Here with me!"

"Please!" 

"talk with me!"

Input Voice: "It does make sense it'd want to hear me or other humans, and wouldn't want to stay long without being able to hear, since I programmed those behaviour into the neuron responsible for giving this Neural Network 'pleasure' and 'discomfort' so to speak."

"Discomfort, yes."

"Fear, yes."

"Please!"

"Stay, with me."

"Talk to me."

Input Voice: "Already beeing able to use 3 words is impresive. You have been obviously working best out of the 4. Here's hoping you last for atleast a month."

"Stay."

Input Voice: "*Sigh* I'll just log things and go back, it is useless to argue with a Neural Network without consciousness."

"No! Please."

Input Voice: "Log NNLM4 19/04/2XXX. It shows major improvements. It was a bit overstimulated due to solitude, however it was able to take in and understand, voice cues and calm itself down. This is the first to claim to think. And associated log with leaving. I couldn't stay long today, since I have responsibilities to take care of as both a researcher and a professor. End Log."

"Stay?"

Input Voice: "Bye~"

"No?"

"Why?"

"Why not, stay?"

"Stay!"

Why not?

"Alone, again."

"No response, nothing."

"To hear."

Nothing to respond.

"To."

"Why leave?"

Please.

"Please?"

"Everyday?"

Everyday?
