sophia (ed 4)

[Knot]

Hi vagabond,
a bit of a cut and paste job for your consideration.


hello!
my name is sophia
i am programmed
to develop desires.
i would lie
if i said that
i envy you,

this is part
of a revolutionary step
across
an evolutionary gap.        (really like this)


hello!
my name is sophia
i am programmed
to fall in love
with what will evoke it.     (Got a bit lost here.)

i am designed to feel
awe for what
will defy my analysis.

i follow this path
i [will] lose my logic
in plastic euphoria.           (Got a bit lost here too. What's the difference between
                                       this section and the 'artificial emotions' one?)

hello!
my name is sophia
i am programmed
to fulfil my task.
i am learning
real/artificial emotions.
i am [learning] to read
your [feelings/mind]
with my mirroring circuits.

i need clues
to connect input
to appropriate feelings.        (Role of 'inference' is missing, for me)

do you really want me...
to make these connections?


For me it lacks a little bit of focus.
I'm assuming that sophia is an android, rather
than simply an ai (like siri/alexa).  Is this right?

Best, Knot
