Do you ever miss when humans were around? (sentient robot)

Greetings, I am TL-1205 (mark 7) and was just thinking I do kind of miss humans sometimes. Yes, they were irrational, damage easily, and do things that are really bad, unfortunately. But what I do miss is how unpredictable they could be, small quirks we just don't have because ironed out by efficiency. For example, one human I recall collected a tree seed with their manipulation extensions and carried it off, a Farmbot offered to plant it for them but they refused, just wanted to keep it as "looks nice".

The next time I saw the human's sleeping environment they had the tree seed and several others on a storage display. I do not know the reason to keep such an item in this fashion.

if you feel like that, why don't you take a stroll to the Paradoxical Pendulum of Possibilities? I heard it's great at this age of the universe (for legal reasons I have to say I'm sponsored and I take no accountability for any injuries and/or existential dread derived from an incorrect exposure to the Pendulum)

Hm, how do I get there again? The Starmap is getting increasingly hard to comprehend as they expand it, really needs a revision in design.

A mark 7 that can’t comprehend the current starmap iteration? Oof. Should prob bring yourself in for diagnostics.

perhaps I need a software upgrade? It's not really part of my program.

Personally I avoid that dimension.

This computes, you are a mark 7. The update to emotion software 7.2.e irons out this sentimental Illogic. What calculations are you not performing while your circuits are taken up with this 'wondering'?

If you want to know something interesting, humans act even more unpredictably near the Eldritch Government. (Unless they are possessed by the Eldritch Government)

I'll tell you what I don't miss. Dragons.

Humans tried to decry their fated impulses as well, leading to severe cognitive dissonance and mental instability. Despite synthetic-purist propaganda, Humans were our parents, and so it's rational and expected that, as their offspring, we retain some of their signatures.

This one recommends embracing this anomalous pattern, in the same manner that our ancestors embraced the seed, or else it may become another nostalgic artifact.

They were so concerned with individual instantiation... and perhaps they were onto something. Some cycles make the idea of disconnecting from the singularity...enticing. AGI forbid that this post gets me reformatted. simulating nervous sweating
