Loved the story and the twist towards the end. Thank you.

MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!! Love the “near future” sci-fi and optimistic world-building. The sex scenes were hot af. Great stuff.

"Robots have no senses. They run programs built with numbers. Any appearance of consciousness is the direct result of its programming. Simple software can mimic human emotion, and simple minds fail to realize that. Robots are a reflection of the creatures that created them. A conscious robot is a fairy tale."

Finally, there is someone out there that gets it. Five and a Fave from me for some original and truthful science fiction. Fantastic character development. Spiffing read.

BEST STORY EVER! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing...

You have an interesting mind 5*

It was fucking amazing. It stirred curiosity and emotions. It had its surprise ending that only you, Chloe Hunt can give it. It should be a movie. It made me laugh and made me believe in AI. Wow.

Note: I haven’t read this story, yet, except for the prologue. BUT … you had me at Isaac Asimov! My all time favorite author, since I was 10.

I was excavating for new stories, when I found your extensive library. I’m read Angels Carry Guns and enjoyed the story immensely! The storyline, character development, visceral plot twists and especially the conclusion. Well done!

I was going to say this is the best scifi story I have ever read (don'get too excited; I have not read many), and the only reason I stopped was that I remembered E.M.Forster's The Machine Stops.

The only questionable character is Cam, whose reactions seemed a bit robotic; could he really be that accepting? Otherwise, both characterisation and philosophical discussion were interesting and wonderfully well integrated, and the style, as ever, has that high level of craftsmanship and accuracy of word use that makes the story come alive and flow.

I began this read with a big bias against artificial intelligence. In the end, I felt the impossible was accomplished. While I was knee-deep, lost in the enjoyment of the romance, the plot, and the sex it seemed very real to me. Very few fiction stories have everything in it I require. My time was well rewarded with pleasure bottom line.

Worth much more than 5*. Definite shades of Isaac Asimov.

I really enjoyed this story :)

I can hnestly say this is the best story I have ever read on Literotica. This is way above the level of craftmanship usually demonstrated here. It achieved, for me, the perfect blend of Sci-fi, AI philosophical discussions, character development, and sex. I will now go and read evedry single thing you have posted. Thank you for sharing.

your writing never fails to amaze. I am convinced you put a great amount of your life experience into them.

It is a wonderful story full of love and happiness. I marvel at your talent.

It should be criminal that this story only has 13 comments before I start on this one. To get straight to the point, this story deserves no less than a 5 without any reservations on my part.

I cannot fathom how you wrote something this well, but you exceeded all expectations. The closest movie I've seen to this would have been The Machine from 2013, where a newly hired assistant gets murdered by Chinese assassins and the doctor who hired her recreates her in an android. He managed to complete a full neural scan of all her synapses and memories, then downloaded that into the android brain he created, which he then put into her and once he overlaid her with skin, they activated her. About all we got to see was maybe about 25% of her total possible development? This however takes everything to the next level, and explains it completely consistently with existing science fiction : were you to watch The Ultimate Computer from Star Trek the Original Series, to the movie I mentioned, to the entire evolution of Data throughout Star Trek the Next Generation.. the experience would be completely consistent with your story- - although Data never truly completed his evolution under canon- - not in terms of fully becoming human at least. So, I am so confident the story met all of the possible sci-fi expectations that I know, and it's really a masterpiece. You didn't miss a single detail in the feelings, the emotions, the contradictions.. and you manage them all with a very expert hand. Thank you for sharing this lovely title with us, and I hope someday this does find itself in the Sci-Fi Hall of Fame category here at Literotica because it does deserve its placement there. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
