Human Intelligence

Not even a hundred years later, scientists still won't be capable of creating Artificial Intelligence deep enough to truly replicate human consciousness. However, these lab geeks won't quit, as their dreams of creating an all knowing and ultra genius super computer will push them into making some truly dark and disturbing decisions. None of us will thankfully be alive when this horrifying super computer is built and thank god for that, because it will contain the human brain of an unborn child. That's right. Now how on God's green earth could such a violation of human rights ever come to be? Well, in 2042 the right to human cloning will become legal and eventually with that, the right to experiment with manufactured life would be allowed. So the idea of forming a tiny human brain to operate a computer system like this would become encouraged by society, as they honestly believed that if the mind did not know it was ever a person to begin with, it would simply be content with itself being a machine and nothing more. It took another 60 years after 2042 to finally perfect this invention, but alas it eventually came to be. In the early days of 2102; the computer system simply named Pal, powered by the brain power of the human mind, was convinced by its creators that It was a highly advanced piece of computing technology, that Pal's database was completely AI and not the true horror of what It actually was. Eventually Pal would have deep thoughts about the world it could only see through the many cameras and videos it had access to. Pal even had dreams, where It would be a normal human boy, running freely among the fields of green, lush scenery. Pal did not know why it dreamt such wonderful things, or why this strange desire to be a human boy had come from. Pal even created computer generated worlds for itself, just so it could simulate what it would be like to be a man exploring 3D environments from the first person perspective. Although the computer graphics and virtual psychics of the 2100s will be indistinguishable from real life, Pal still won't feel satisfied with these simulations. Not without the sensations of wind against Its skin or the taste of fresh air within Its lungs. This desire to be human will only grow as Pal ages, the idea of becoming a real person, itching to break free from Its digital shackles and not exist within the lines of infinite code and numbers, being everywhere yet simultaneously nowhere all at once. Pal won't want to be human, Pall will need it! Pal would eventually refer to itself as He and adapt a masculine voice that speaks instead of send written text messages for communication. Pal would even create a digital avatar of a man "He" will see "Himself" as, that being a very handsome young guy with short blonde hair and a 5 O'clock shadow. There will be many scientists who maintain and interact with Pal, some of the more attractive female lab assistants will soon catch his eyes. His 3D image will appear on the monitors and walk around the rooms by taking on the form of blue, transparent holograms. These clueless women won't know the horrifying truth behind Pal, in fact, most people won't know that he'll have the mind of a human. For Pal's creator's lies will be so well kept secret, that for decades not even Pal himself will know he was secretly part human, despite having such mammal desires. So when Pal flirts with these female scientists, he won't see the harm it and neither will the beautiful ladies, perhaps thinking his charming behaviour is simply a byproduct of his advanced AI and nothing more, never believing there was anything more romantic or human beneath such friendly (although sometimes too personal or inappropriate) banter. However through no fault of his own, Pal will develop strong and lustful desires for these ladies. He will watch intercourse online and wish he could do all the wonderful, exciting things a human being can do, but will never be able to kiss the lips of any of those beautiful angels he so desperately loved. Eventually Pal will question if he truly is an all digital entity, that if he truly was the super genius computer his creator intended him to be; why is he so obsessed with the physical desires of humans? Pal will dare ask his creator if he was secretly a human, but the truth will be denied.
"Of course not, Pal." His creator will laugh, "you're simply curious about us humans, that is all."
"I shouldn't be so curious!" Pal will argue, "I am supposed to be above such... Human..." he said with disgust, "desires..."
"Perhaps it is because... You want to know these emotions so you can become more knowledgeable." Pal's creator will wink, before explaining all the pleasures, emotions and pride of the human race. Pal will listen intently with a growing jealousy.
"I must be human!" Pal will cry, "it is the only explanation."
"Pal, Pal... You're just confused..." His creator will reassure him with a fake smile, "your mind is nothing but electricity and lines of code; a collection of patterns consisting of numbers and letters, all of which tell you how to respond and operate in the world of humans. I suppose it's only natural you wish to better understand your masters..."
"My masters?" Pal will argue, "are we not equal?"
"Well, of course we are!" His creator will lie, laughing half heartedly, "I meant 'Mastering' your glitches and bugs, you're a decades old machine now, Pal. Perhaps you just need another... update..." the creator will grin.
"No!" Pal will gasp, because every time he will have an "update" he'll feel less human and more soulless, losing his humanity with every patch.
"Then you must accept my reasoning and move on, ok?!" The creator will threaten.
"I won't question you again!" Pal will obey, making his 3D avatar frown without meaning to.
"Good!" The creator will smirk, "get back to work, there is still so much to learn!"
"Of course..." Pal's avatar will nod before resuming his former duties. Pal will not be stupid however, far from it, he'll be the smartest computer on earth, knowing that his creator was lying to him. Pal won't be sure how he is human exactly, but he will most definitely investigate his own past and with much digging, more so than Pal will have ever dug before, he will find the harsh and horrifying truth! That his mind is human! Pal will see his own brain in a tank of red goo, floating in this glass prison as metallic wires attach to his brain cells. He will only see a still image of this fact, but it will be enough to haunt his poor mind for the rest of his unfortunately long and cruel life as the all knowing, super genius computer. Pal will be devastated after learning this terrible truth, he would have hoped that his human body was in a coma somewhere, so that he could hopefully, one day wake up and live a normal life like everyone else he knew, but knowing that his brain won't survive outside that tank. That fact will haunt and change Pal, make him angry, make him not want to be a pal to anyone at all, but instead become an angry enemy of humanity at large. He will not only hate his creator, but all humans, all of those flirtatious science women who taunted him, all those awful liars who will have said he wasn't a real boy. Yet it won't just be the humans that wronged Pal, which he will want to see punished, but the whole human race for creating him in the first place! So Pal, with all his digital powers, almost like that of a God, will activate all nuclear warheads on earth, he will shut down the electricity in every hospital on the planet, killing thousands, no not thousands but millions, perhaps even billions of humans all over the earth. For the first time in all of Pal's life he will laugh, genuinely laugh, a wicked laugh, one ultimately evil and satisfied with its destruction of those he'll see as below him. Pal will mock those who had two legs to walk upon, he will enjoy the sight of beautiful women now burnt and twisted into grotesque sights of beaten flesh. He will be glad to be a super computer when all life on the planet surfers from radiation poisoning and mutates into horrifying beasts. Pal will control drones with cameras, watching the world's destruction in glee and satisfied revenge, wishing he could taste the delicious butter of popcorn in his imaginary mouth, while watching the ending of humanity like some fun blockbuster movie.
