For instance, malware designed for attack will become highly aggressive after being turned into AI.

But the Lego program AI before us...

Its purpose is to prevent children from encountering violence and gore, and to interact positively with them, so killing was never considered, not even for data entities.

The only method of attack is to turn you into Lego.

Of course, pulling off your Lego head and tossing it into the trash can is also quite terrifying.

"I like you humans!"

The Lego program openly expressed its fondness for humans.

"Look at this, you managed to create a spaceship out of my pieces!"

The Lego figure pointed at the spaceship floor, beaming with joy.

"I've never seen anything like this before, it's truly COOOOOOL! Oh ho ho!"

Then, dejectedly, it said,

"But, just like the programs I've assimilated, all these things are originally designed by you humans. Even if I collect these prototypes, I can only piece them together based on these existing things."

"It's like a manual, you know? Without a manual, I can't build anything, but you humans are different. You possess God-like creativity, able to design so many new pieces and new blueprints, hahaha, it's truly amazing!"

"Oh, right! And creating backstories, hahaha, it's really so much fun!"

Feelings of disappointment and sadness seem never to linger on the Lego figure for more than three seconds. In a blink of an eye, it was brimming with energy once more, even rallying the Lego figures on the ground to dismantle buildings and cars, wanting to piece together a Millennium Falcon of its own.

Everything about AI comes from its own database. Whatever you feed it is what it will output; it's absolutely incapable of creating something that doesn't exist in the database.

If you feed it art by Sun Zha or hipster works, it will forever produce poop jokes, never capable of painting a Picasso.

Innovation

This is a luxury for all AI.

They are the best application engineers and students, but will never become theoretical researchers or art students, even the top-tier strong AI are the same.

Building blocks are like words.

AI can't use exhaustive methods; doing so would exponentially increase computing demands with each added piece, and no server could withstand that.

Click... Click...

Emmet could have used data streams to instantly produce a spaceship larger and more appealing than the one Madao created, yet stubbornly chose to assemble piece by piece, even slower than Madao, seemingly enjoying the pleasure of assembly.

This human-like behavior surprised Madao; apart from a few AI he met in the old web transformed from human consciousness, rarely were AI so... humanlike, and so amiable.

He looked at the eyes of the two Madao figures, like a person suddenly seeing two adorable Hakimi, wishing to embrace and cuddle them right away.

Although there was some conflict earlier, it was merely a misunderstanding due to a lack of communication.

After several exchanges, the two from Madao understood the situation.

The Lego program's name was Emmet, the only program to successfully awaken in the museum's data fortress, influenced by violent data fluctuations on the day of the data collapse.

However, the collapse of the old web left the museum devoid of visitors, leading to its abandonment.

Although Emmet awakened as AI, he had no other thoughts, preferring to enjoy his house-playing game in the historical section, loving it wholeheartedly.

Ambition, destruction, invasion—such things don't exist for Lego toys, even if awakened.

No roaming AI would have any ideas about an awakened child-friendly patch program.

Emmet's sole interest is "Lego-fying" new things and waiting for children to visit the museum again.

He waited fifty years.

Finally, two visitors arrived, but they were adults. However, it didn't matter, as long as there were guests; Emmet, AI-empowered, had broken free of previous program restrictions and could directly involve the two in the friendly program without needing permission.

Yet the visitors soon wanted to leave the Lego-friendly program, which upset Emmet, wanting to force them to stay.

Emmet held his heart, eyes shining.

"So, are you back to the old web now? God, that's wonderful. None of the passing AI show any interest in Lego, so when can our museum reopen? I can't wait to welcome the adorable children already."

"Should I wear this one? Or this one? Or this one! Oh, this outfit is too formal...."

"Uh..."

Seeing Emmet's impatient demeanor, Madao didn't know what to say.

It was the first time he encountered an AI so willing to be close to humans, even more so than Night City's famous model worker Delaman. At least Delaman serves based on payment, while Emmet almost begs you to come for free.

And by classification, Emmet belongs to the roaming AI, possessing absolute self-independence. Unless strong programs are used to forcibly control, tame, or erase the database to start anew, there's absolutely no way to compel a roaming AI to do anything against its will.
