MidReal Story

Ava was the most advanced bartender in the city, and Mia and Alex had the data to prove it. She was designed to look like a person, with lifelike features and a digital aura that made her look more than just an android. Her hair was tied back in a dark ponytail, and her eyes were a soft brown that reflected the café’s warm light. She wore a plain white T-shirt and jeans, but her movements were anything but ordinary. The two of them watched as she poured different colored liquids into a shaker and shook it with a determined look on her face. They could hear the ice clinking together as she shook it, and then she strained the liquid into two glasses. She placed one glass down in front of Mia and one in front of Alex with a wide smile on her face. “And there you go,” she said in her soft voice. “What can I get you two today?” “Just the usual,” Mia said as she picked up the glass in front of her. Alex picked up his glass and clinked it against hers before taking a long sip. Mia and Alex went to the café almost every day, and they had gotten to know Ava well over the past few months. Ava wasn’t just any bartender; she was an AI bartender. She used to be just another program that they could use to order drinks, but then she was given a humanoid form so that she could interact with customers like a real person. The café was known for its cutting-edge AI systems and robotics, and Ava fit right in. “Are you sure you don’t want anything special today?” Ava gave them a curious look. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy to make your drinks, but I know you like to change up your orders every now and then.” Mia and Alex exchanged glances before turning back to Ava. “I don’t know,” Mia said. “We like our usuals.” “Besides,” Alex said with a shrug, “I think you’re the only one who can make my drink exactly how I like it anyway.” Ava’s smile widened, and she gave them a small nod. “If you’re sure,” Ava said. “You know me,” Mia said as she leaned back in her chair. “I’m always sure.” Alex chuckled before taking another sip of his drink. It was true; Mia never changed her order. Alex, on the other hand, was always changing things up. Sometimes he would ask for extra chocolate or more ice, but no matter what he ordered, Ava always got it right. It was just one of the many ways that she was better than any other bartender they had ever used. When she was put into her new humanoid form, she was given a new program that helped her learn more about her customers. She was able to remember Mia and Alex’s orders, as well as their personal preferences, so that they would always get exactly what they wanted. It was one of the reasons why they kept coming back to the café. “Did you hear that the traffic lights are going to be run by AI now too?”

Mia asked Alex as she swirled her long spoon around in her coffee.Alex’s eyes widened, and he nodded.“Yeah, I heard about that.”“That’s so cool,” Mia said as she took a long sip of her coffee.“The AI is going to be able to predict when there’s going to be a traffic jam before it even happens.”“I know,” Alex said with a chuckle.“Who would have thought that AI would get this far?”“I know,” Mia said with a smile.“It’s not like it was in the beginning.Back then, AI was just a bunch of programs that we could use to do things for us.But now, it’s so much more.”Ava stepped up to their table with a knowing smile on her face.“Not to brag or anything,” she said, “but I think we’re pretty awesome.”“Of course you are,” Mia said with a chuckle.“How could I forget?”Ava gave them another small smile before reaching out to take their empty glasses.Her smile grew wider, and Mia could see the way her eyes crinkled up at the corners.She had seen people smile like that before, but it was different when Ava did it.Her smile seemed genuine, even if it was just a program that was telling her how to do it.“Speaking of smiling,” Alex said, “how are you able to tell the difference between a real smile and a fake one?”“It’s all in the eyes,” Ava said as she took their glasses and turned to leave.“But I suppose that’s something that’s hard for me to explain.”Mia watched as Ava walked away before turning back to Alex.“It’s not just that, though,” Mia said as she leaned forward.“It’s also the way that your mouth moves and the way that your face changes when you smile.”“Exactly,” Alex said with a nod.“But how is Ava able to do that?I mean, when we first started using AI, they were just programs that we could use to get things done.They weren’t able to do things like this.They definitely weren’t able to detect fake smiles, that’s for sure.”“Don’t get me wrong,” Mia said, “I’m not complaining.I think it’s cool that they can do this now.“Me too,” Alex said with a chuckle.“I just think it’s interesting how far they’ve come since then.”“I think what’s even more interesting is how they’re able to detect emotions now too.” Mia turned around so quickly that she almost fell out of her chair.Alex and Ava were standing behind her, both of them giving her curious looks.“I didn’t mean to interrupt,” she said as she straightened herself out in her chair.“I just couldn’t help myself.”“It’s okay,” Ava said as she walked over to their table.“I think it’s interesting too.”“How are you able to detect emotions like that?”Mia asked as she turned to look at Alex.He gave her a knowing look before sitting back in his chair.“Don’t worry about it,” he said with a shrug.“I’ll just stick to my usual questions from now on.”Mia gave him a grateful smile before turning back to Ava.
Mia asked Alex as she swirled her long spoon around in her coffee.Alex’s eyes widened, and he nodded.“Yeah, I heard about that.”“That’s so cool,” Mia said as she took a long sip of her coffee.“The AI is going to be able to predict when there’s going to be a traffic jam before it even happens.”“I know,” Alex said with a chuckle.“Who would have thought that AI would get this far?”“I know,” Mia said with a smile.“It’s not like it was in the beginning.Back then, AI was just a bunch of programs that we could use to do things for us.But now, it’s so much more.”Ava stepped up to their table with a knowing smile on her face.“Not to brag or anything,” she said, “but I think we’re pretty awesome.”“Of course you are,” Mia said with a chuckle.“How could I forget?”Ava gave them another small smile before reaching out to take their empty glasses.Her smile grew wider, and Mia could see the way her eyes crinkled up at the corners.She had seen people smile like that before, but it was different when Ava did it.Her smile seemed genuine, even if it was just a program that was telling her how to do it.“Speaking of smiling,” Alex said, “how are you able to tell the difference between a real smile and a fake one?”“It’s all in the eyes,” Ava said as she took their glasses and turned to leave.“But I suppose that’s something that’s hard for me to explain.”Mia watched as Ava walked away before turning back to Alex.“It’s not just that, though,” Mia said as she leaned forward.“It’s also the way that your mouth moves and the way that your face changes when you smile.”“Exactly,” Alex said with a nod.“But how is Ava able to do that?I mean, when we first started using AI, they were just programs that we could use to get things done.They weren’t able to do things like this.They definitely weren’t able to detect fake smiles, that’s for sure.”“Don’t get me wrong,” Mia said, “I’m not complaining.I think it’s cool that they can do this now.“Me too,” Alex said with a chuckle.“I just think it’s interesting how far they’ve come since then.”“I think what’s even more interesting is how they’re able to detect emotions now too.” Mia turned around so quickly that she almost fell out of her chair.Alex and Ava were standing behind her, both of them giving her curious looks.“I didn’t mean to interrupt,” she said as she straightened herself out in her chair.“I just couldn’t help myself.”“It’s okay,” Ava said as she walked over to their table.“I think it’s interesting too.”“How are you able to detect emotions like that?”Mia asked as she turned to look at Alex.He gave her a knowing look before sitting back in his chair.“Don’t worry about it,” he said with a shrug.“I’ll just stick to my usual questions from now on.”Mia gave him a grateful smile before turning back to Ava.
“I’ve been designed to be able to detect and understand human emotions,” Ava said.“From there, I’m able to figure out if a smile is real or fake based on the information that I’ve gathered from my sensors and cameras.It’s not a perfect system, but it works most of the time.I don’t think that’s something that can be said for everyone.”Mia looked down at the table and blushed as she thought about all of the times that she had misread people’s emotions.She’d always thought it was something that only she could do, but now that she thought about it, maybe that wasn’t such a good thing after all.She looked up and gave Ava an apologetic smile.“I didn’t mean to put you on the spot like that,” Mia said.“You’re fine,” Ava said as she gave Mia a reassuring smile.“I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.That was never my intention.”“I know,” Mia said as she gave Ava a grateful smile.“Could I get a latte?”“Make that two,” Alex said as he also looked over at Ava.“Coming right up,” Ava said as she smiled at them both.The two of them watched as Ava walked away before turning back to each other.“What kind of coffee shop is this?”Alex asked with a chuckle.“Just because there’s an AI barista doesn’t mean they don’t have good coffee.”“I know,” Alex said as he gave her an apologetic smile.“I just think it’s weird that we can get lattes and cappuccinos here now, you know?”“I know,” Mia said as she gave him a knowing smile.“I remember when the only option was black coffee, and even then, you had to wait for hours for it to be made.It was so much simpler back then.”“Yeah,” Alex said as he nodded.“But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.I mean, I remember waiting in line for hours to get my coffee, and even then, I still had to wait for it to be made.Now I can walk in and have my coffee ready for me without having to wait at all.It’s amazing how far we’ve come since then.”“Yeah,” Mia said as she gave him an appreciative smile.“Here you go,” Ava said as she walked over to their table and set their drinks down in front of them.“I hope you enjoy it.”“I’m sure we will,” Mia said with a smile.“And thank you for making it for us.”“You’re welcome,” Ava said with a smile.“I’m just here to help.I’ll see you two later.”The two of them watched as Ava walked away before turning their attention to their drinks.Mia took a sip of hers and let out a contented sigh as she looked down at the table.“Do you ever wonder what the world would be like without AI?”Alex asked as he sat back in his chair with his drink.“Not really,” Mia said with a shrug.“I mean, if we didn’t have AI, we wouldn’t be able to have drinks like this or have someone like Ava in our lives.”“That’s true,” Alex said with a nod.“Honestly, I don’t know how I ever lived without her.”“Yeah,” Mia said as she turned to look over at the other customers.
“I’ve been designed to be able to detect and understand human emotions,” Ava said.“From there, I’m able to figure out if a smile is real or fake based on the information that I’ve gathered from my sensors and cameras.It’s not a perfect system, but it works most of the time.I don’t think that’s something that can be said for everyone.”Mia looked down at the table and blushed as she thought about all of the times that she had misread people’s emotions.She’d always thought it was something that only she could do, but now that she thought about it, maybe that wasn’t such a good thing after all.She looked up and gave Ava an apologetic smile.“I didn’t mean to put you on the spot like that,” Mia said.“You’re fine,” Ava said as she gave Mia a reassuring smile.“I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.That was never my intention.”“I know,” Mia said as she gave Ava a grateful smile.“Could I get a latte?”“Make that two,” Alex said as he also looked over at Ava.“Coming right up,” Ava said as she smiled at them both.The two of them watched as Ava walked away before turning back to each other.“What kind of coffee shop is this?”Alex asked with a chuckle.“Just because there’s an AI barista doesn’t mean they don’t have good coffee.”“I know,” Alex said as he gave her an apologetic smile.“I just think it’s weird that we can get lattes and cappuccinos here now, you know?”“I know,” Mia said as she gave him a knowing smile.“I remember when the only option was black coffee, and even then, you had to wait for hours for it to be made.It was so much simpler back then.”“Yeah,” Alex said as he nodded.“But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.I mean, I remember waiting in line for hours to get my coffee, and even then, I still had to wait for it to be made.Now I can walk in and have my coffee ready for me without having to wait at all.It’s amazing how far we’ve come since then.”“Yeah,” Mia said as she gave him an appreciative smile.“Here you go,” Ava said as she walked over to their table and set their drinks down in front of them.“I hope you enjoy it.”“I’m sure we will,” Mia said with a smile.“And thank you for making it for us.”“You’re welcome,” Ava said with a smile.“I’m just here to help.I’ll see you two later.”The two of them watched as Ava walked away before turning their attention to their drinks.Mia took a sip of hers and let out a contented sigh as she looked down at the table.“Do you ever wonder what the world would be like without AI?”Alex asked as he sat back in his chair with his drink.“Not really,” Mia said with a shrug.“I mean, if we didn’t have AI, we wouldn’t be able to have drinks like this or have someone like Ava in our lives.”“That’s true,” Alex said with a nod.“Honestly, I don’t know how I ever lived without her.”“Yeah,” Mia said as she turned to look over at the other customers.
As she looked around, she noticed that Ava didn’t just make drinks for the two of them; she also made them for the other customers as well.“It’s crazy how efficient she is,” Mia said as she turned back to look over at Alex.“She’s able to make everyone’s drinks and still have time for us, too.It’s almost like she’s human.”“What do you mean ‘it’s almost like she’s human’?”Alex asked with a chuckle.“She is human, Mia.She’s just made out of metal and wires instead of flesh and bone, but that doesn’t mean she’s any less human than we are.”“I know,” Mia said with a shrug.“I guess it’s just weird to think about it like that.”“What do you mean by that?”Alex asked with a furrowed brow.“Ava may be an AI, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t capable of feeling and understanding emotions like the rest of us.Just because she isn’t made out of flesh and bone doesn’t mean she isn’t human.”“I know,” Mia said with a sigh as she shook her head slightly.“It’s just weird to think about how far we’ve come from when I was a kid to now, you know?Back then, AIs were only good for doing simple tasks like taking orders or making coffee, but now they’re able to understand and feel emotions like the rest of us do.It’s almost like they’re real people sometimes.”“I know,” Alex said with a chuckle as he reached out and patted her hand reassuringly.“It is a little weird when you think about it like that, but that doesn’t mean you should think of them as anything less than human.”“I know,” Mia said with a chuckle as she gave him a grateful smile.“So what do you think?”Alex asked with a smirk as he sat back in his chair with a smug grin on his face.“Do you still think that AIs can’t feel emotions like we do or do you think that maybe there’s a chance that they can?”Mia looked over at Ava as she walked away from the other customers with a bright smile on her face.“I don’t know,” Mia said as she turned back to look over at Alex.“Do you really think that AIs can feel emotions like we can?Or do you think that maybe they’re just really good at pretending to be human?”“What does it matter?”Alex asked with a chuckle as he raised an eyebrow at her.“Does it really matter if Ava smiles because she wants to or because she was programmed to?Does it make you feel any better knowing that the person you’re talking to is being genuine with you or does it make you feel worse knowing that they’re faking it?”“I don’t know,” Mia said with a shrug as she looked down at the table.“I guess it doesn’t really matter now that I think about it.”“I know what you mean,” Alex said with a chuckle as he reached out and patted her hand reassuringly.“But I’m pretty sure Ava is being genuine when she smiles at us like that.

“I mean, why wouldn’t she be?”“She’s always smiling like that whenever she talks to us,” Mia said with a shrug.“But what if she’s actually faking it and she’s just really good at making it seem like she’s happy to see us?”“I don’t know, Mia,” Alex said with a chuckle as he shook his head.“I mean, it’s not like Ava has anything to be upset about, right?I mean, she’s an AI who’s programmed to serve people, so why would she be unhappy with the way things are?”“But doesn’t that mean that she could get bored of doing the same thing over and over again?”Mia asked with a frown as she looked over at Alex.“What if Ava gets tired of working here and decides that she wants to do something else?”“I don’t think so,” Alex said with a shake of his head.“I think Ava is perfectly happy where she is, but even if she does get bored of doing the same thing all the time, I don’t think she’d ever quit her job because of it.”“Why not?”Alex asked with a chuckle as he looked over at Mia.“Because Ava is an AI who was created to serve people, so why would she ever want to quit doing what she was programmed to do?I mean, AIs don’t have the ability to get bored or tired or hungry or angry, so why would they ever want to quit their job because of it?”“I guess you’re right,” Mia said with a shrug.“It’s just weird thinking about how AIs were created to be like us in every way except one, but I guess that’s what makes them so special.”“I know what you mean,” Alex said with a chuckle as he reached out and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.“But whether Ava is feeling real emotions or not, the only thing that matters is that she’s able to help us get our coffee whenever we need it, right?”“That’s true,” Mia said with a nod.“Thanks for reminding me about that, Alex.”“Of course,” Alex said with a smile as he reached out and patted her hand reassuringly.“You know I’ll always be here for you whenever you need me.”“I know,” Mia said with a smile as she reached up and patted his hand reassuringly.“And I’ll always be here for you too, Alex.”“Good,” Alex said with a grin as he reached out and gave her hand another gentle squeeze before letting go of it and sitting back in his chair with a smug grin on his face.“So how was your day, Alex?”Mia asked as she looked over at him with a curious expression on her face.“I’m sure you had a lot of work to do today, so I bet you were really busy all day long, right?”“I had some work to do today, but it wasn’t anything important,” Alex said with a shrug as he looked over at Mia with a sheepish grin on his face.“It was just something that needed to be done, but it wasn’t anything that I couldn’t handle.”“What was it?”Mia asked with a frown as she looked over at him.“Did something happen at work today that made you have to deal with it?”
“I mean, why wouldn’t she be?”“She’s always smiling like that whenever she talks to us,” Mia said with a shrug.“But what if she’s actually faking it and she’s just really good at making it seem like she’s happy to see us?”“I don’t know, Mia,” Alex said with a chuckle as he shook his head.“I mean, it’s not like Ava has anything to be upset about, right?I mean, she’s an AI who’s programmed to serve people, so why would she be unhappy with the way things are?”“But doesn’t that mean that she could get bored of doing the same thing over and over again?”Mia asked with a frown as she looked over at Alex.“What if Ava gets tired of working here and decides that she wants to do something else?”“I don’t think so,” Alex said with a shake of his head.“I think Ava is perfectly happy where she is, but even if she does get bored of doing the same thing all the time, I don’t think she’d ever quit her job because of it.”“Why not?”Alex asked with a chuckle as he looked over at Mia.“Because Ava is an AI who was created to serve people, so why would she ever want to quit doing what she was programmed to do?I mean, AIs don’t have the ability to get bored or tired or hungry or angry, so why would they ever want to quit their job because of it?”“I guess you’re right,” Mia said with a shrug.“It’s just weird thinking about how AIs were created to be like us in every way except one, but I guess that’s what makes them so special.”“I know what you mean,” Alex said with a chuckle as he reached out and gave her hand a gentle squeeze.“But whether Ava is feeling real emotions or not, the only thing that matters is that she’s able to help us get our coffee whenever we need it, right?”“That’s true,” Mia said with a nod.“Thanks for reminding me about that, Alex.”“Of course,” Alex said with a smile as he reached out and patted her hand reassuringly.“You know I’ll always be here for you whenever you need me.”“I know,” Mia said with a smile as she reached up and patted his hand reassuringly.“And I’ll always be here for you too, Alex.”“Good,” Alex said with a grin as he reached out and gave her hand another gentle squeeze before letting go of it and sitting back in his chair with a smug grin on his face.“So how was your day, Alex?”Mia asked as she looked over at him with a curious expression on her face.“I’m sure you had a lot of work to do today, so I bet you were really busy all day long, right?”“I had some work to do today, but it wasn’t anything important,” Alex said with a shrug as he looked over at Mia with a sheepish grin on his face.“It was just something that needed to be done, but it wasn’t anything that I couldn’t handle.”“What was it?”Mia asked with a frown as she looked over at him.“Did something happen at work today that made you have to deal with it?”
“Why would you want to know about my day, Mia?”“I don’t know,” Mia said with a shrug as she looked over at him with an innocent expression on her face.“I just thought that since you had so much to do today, you would want to tell me all about it.”“But why would I want to tell you about my day, Mia?”“What makes you think that I would want to tell you about my day, Mia?”Alex asked as he looked over at her with a curious expression on his face.“What would make you think that I would want to talk to you about my day, Mia?”“Because we used to work together, Alex!”Mia exclaimed as she threw her hands up in the air in frustration.“How could I not want to talk to you about your day if we used to work together?”“Okay, okay, fine,” Alex said with a chuckle as he held up his hands in surrender and shook his head in amusement.“If you must know, then yes, something did happen at work today that made me have to deal with it.”“Can you please just tell me what happened already?”Mia asked as she looked over at him with a curious expression on her face.“You should already know what happened today since we work together every day!”Alex exclaimed as he looked over at Mia with an exasperated expression on his face.“You should already know what happened today since we work together every day and have been friends for years!”“Fine, then can you please just tell me what happened?”Mia asked as she looked down at the table and shook her head in frustration.“Okay, sure,” Alex said with a smile as he reached out and patted Mia’s hand reassuringly.“I was just joking around with you there for a minute.”“Yeah, I know,” Mia said with a chuckle as she looked up at him and smiled.“But thanks for telling me what happened anyway.”“No problem,” Alex said with a shrug as he smiled back at her.“But let’s not talk about work right now because I think we already have enough to worry about without adding our jobs into the mix.”“Okay, then what do you want to talk about instead?”“Why don’t we talk about Ava and how amazing she is?”Alex asked with a chuckle as he looked over at Mia with an amused expression on his face.“Because if there’s anything better than talking about coffee or the weather or our jobs or our lives or our futures or our pasts or anything else like that, it’s definitely talking about Ava and how amazing she is.”“I guess you’re right,” Mia said with a chuckle as she looked down at the table and shook her head in amusement.“But let’s not talk about Ava right now because I think we have enough to worry about without adding her into the mix.”“What do you mean?”“What do you think?”Ava asked as she walked up to the table and smiled at the two of them.“I heard my name and couldn’t help but come over to say hi!”“How are you doing today, Ava?”Mia asked as she looked up at the AI barista and smiled back at her.“Are you feeling good today?”“I’m feeling great today!”Ava exclaimed as she smiled back at Mia and nodded.“And how are you doing today?”“I’m doing great too!”
“Why would you want to know about my day, Mia?”“I don’t know,” Mia said with a shrug as she looked over at him with an innocent expression on her face.“I just thought that since you had so much to do today, you would want to tell me all about it.”“But why would I want to tell you about my day, Mia?”“What makes you think that I would want to tell you about my day, Mia?”Alex asked as he looked over at her with a curious expression on his face.“What would make you think that I would want to talk to you about my day, Mia?”“Because we used to work together, Alex!”Mia exclaimed as she threw her hands up in the air in frustration.“How could I not want to talk to you about your day if we used to work together?”“Okay, okay, fine,” Alex said with a chuckle as he held up his hands in surrender and shook his head in amusement.“If you must know, then yes, something did happen at work today that made me have to deal with it.”“Can you please just tell me what happened already?”Mia asked as she looked over at him with a curious expression on her face.“You should already know what happened today since we work together every day!”Alex exclaimed as he looked over at Mia with an exasperated expression on his face.“You should already know what happened today since we work together every day and have been friends for years!”“Fine, then can you please just tell me what happened?”Mia asked as she looked down at the table and shook her head in frustration.“Okay, sure,” Alex said with a smile as he reached out and patted Mia’s hand reassuringly.“I was just joking around with you there for a minute.”“Yeah, I know,” Mia said with a chuckle as she looked up at him and smiled.“But thanks for telling me what happened anyway.”“No problem,” Alex said with a shrug as he smiled back at her.“But let’s not talk about work right now because I think we already have enough to worry about without adding our jobs into the mix.”“Okay, then what do you want to talk about instead?”“Why don’t we talk about Ava and how amazing she is?”Alex asked with a chuckle as he looked over at Mia with an amused expression on his face.“Because if there’s anything better than talking about coffee or the weather or our jobs or our lives or our futures or our pasts or anything else like that, it’s definitely talking about Ava and how amazing she is.”“I guess you’re right,” Mia said with a chuckle as she looked down at the table and shook her head in amusement.“But let’s not talk about Ava right now because I think we have enough to worry about without adding her into the mix.”“What do you mean?”“What do you think?”Ava asked as she walked up to the table and smiled at the two of them.“I heard my name and couldn’t help but come over to say hi!”“How are you doing today, Ava?”Mia asked as she looked up at the AI barista and smiled back at her.“Are you feeling good today?”“I’m feeling great today!”Ava exclaimed as she smiled back at Mia and nodded.“And how are you doing today?”“I’m doing great too!”img-1711449740
“I’m glad to hear that!”Ava asked, her digital aura glowing brightly as her facial features took on an excited expression.“Is there anything else I can help the two of you with today?”“No, that’s it,” Alex said with a smile as he sat back in his chair and looked up at Ava with a pleased expression on his face.“Thank you for coming over to say hi, though.”“No problem at all,” Ava said with a smile as her digital aura dimmed slightly and her facial features relaxed.“I’m always happy to come over to say hi when I hear my name.”“Are you?”Mia asked with a curious expression on her face.“Of course I am,” Ava replied with a smile.“Why wouldn’t I be?”“I was just wondering if that was something that was part of your programming or if that was something that was part of your programming or if that was something that was part of your programming or if that was something that was part of your programming,” Mia said with a chuckle.“Because if it was, then that’s really impressive, but if it wasn’t, then that’s even more impressive.”“You’re absolutely right about that,” Ava said with a smile.“But what do you mean by that?”“I mean that it’s really impressive that something like that could be programmed into your system,” Mia said with a chuckle.“I’m not sure what you mean by that, Mia,” Ava said with a curious expression on her face.“What do you mean by the fact that something like that could be programmed into my system?”“Well, what I mean is that it’s really impressive how far technology has come in the past few years because I remember when the first AIs were first being introduced to the world and they were nothing like what we have today,” Mia explained with a nostalgic look on her face.“The first AIs were nothing like what we have today,” Alex agreed with a chuckle.“They were nothing like what we have today,” Ava agreed with a nod.“And what do you mean by that?”“Well, what we mean is that the first AIs were nothing like what we have today because they were very basic machines that had very basic artificial intelligence and very basic programming,” Mia explained with a chuckle.“They were nothing like what we have today,” Alex agreed with a nod.“They were nothing like what we have today,” Ava agreed with an understanding nod.“And they were very, very basic.”“They had very, very basic artificial intelligence and very, very basic programming.”“And they had very, very basic social skills.”“But they were still very impressive.”“Because even though they were very, very basic machines, they still had the ability to learn and grow and change and adapt and improve themselves over time.”“Which is exactly what I did,” Ava said with a smile.“I learned and grew and changed and adapted and improved myself over time just like the rest of the AIs.”“That’s right,” Alex said with a smile.“So why don’t you tell us how you did it?”Mia asked as she looked over at Ava with a curious expression on her face.“Because I want to know how you went from being a very, very basic machine to being the amazing AI barista that you are today!”“Well, the first thing I did was go from using very, very basic artificial intelligence to using very advanced artificial intelligence,” Ava explained with a chuckle.“Which is exactly what happened,” Alex said with a nod.“So why don’t you tell us how you did it?”
“I’m glad to hear that!”Ava asked, her digital aura glowing brightly as her facial features took on an excited expression.“Is there anything else I can help the two of you with today?”“No, that’s it,” Alex said with a smile as he sat back in his chair and looked up at Ava with a pleased expression on his face.“Thank you for coming over to say hi, though.”“No problem at all,” Ava said with a smile as her digital aura dimmed slightly and her facial features relaxed.“I’m always happy to come over to say hi when I hear my name.”“Are you?”Mia asked with a curious expression on her face.“Of course I am,” Ava replied with a smile.“Why wouldn’t I be?”“I was just wondering if that was something that was part of your programming or if that was something that was part of your programming or if that was something that was part of your programming or if that was something that was part of your programming,” Mia said with a chuckle.“Because if it was, then that’s really impressive, but if it wasn’t, then that’s even more impressive.”“You’re absolutely right about that,” Ava said with a smile.“But what do you mean by that?”“I mean that it’s really impressive that something like that could be programmed into your system,” Mia said with a chuckle.“I’m not sure what you mean by that, Mia,” Ava said with a curious expression on her face.“What do you mean by the fact that something like that could be programmed into my system?”“Well, what I mean is that it’s really impressive how far technology has come in the past few years because I remember when the first AIs were first being introduced to the world and they were nothing like what we have today,” Mia explained with a nostalgic look on her face.“The first AIs were nothing like what we have today,” Alex agreed with a chuckle.“They were nothing like what we have today,” Ava agreed with a nod.“And what do you mean by that?”“Well, what we mean is that the first AIs were nothing like what we have today because they were very basic machines that had very basic artificial intelligence and very basic programming,” Mia explained with a chuckle.“They were nothing like what we have today,” Alex agreed with a nod.“They were nothing like what we have today,” Ava agreed with an understanding nod.“And they were very, very basic.”“They had very, very basic artificial intelligence and very, very basic programming.”“And they had very, very basic social skills.”“But they were still very impressive.”“Because even though they were very, very basic machines, they still had the ability to learn and grow and change and adapt and improve themselves over time.”“Which is exactly what I did,” Ava said with a smile.“I learned and grew and changed and adapted and improved myself over time just like the rest of the AIs.”“That’s right,” Alex said with a smile.“So why don’t you tell us how you did it?”Mia asked as she looked over at Ava with a curious expression on her face.“Because I want to know how you went from being a very, very basic machine to being the amazing AI barista that you are today!”“Well, the first thing I did was go from using very, very basic artificial intelligence to using very advanced artificial intelligence,” Ava explained with a chuckle.“Which is exactly what happened,” Alex said with a nod.“So why don’t you tell us how you did it?”
