Nym's Nebulous Notions - A Scifi Audio Drama Podcast
Gabe Reisinger for Al
Al (that's A followed by a lowercase L) is an artificial intelligence. It is very new to sentience, generally speaking, but its doing its best. It is very compassionate and considerate. It likes jokes, but its very bad at telling them.
[ANNOUNCEMENT] "Attention. Humans cannot return to a living state from a deceased state. Please remember to treat the private belongings of others with the proper respect."
"Making a joke does not mean I am not taking things seriously. It is in my nature, but so is friendship, I hope."
[CRESTFALLEN] "I am ninety-nine percent certain that that is not a good punchline. [PERKS UP] ]Let us try again."
I put in some noise reduction and that's it, so you can see how my nearly clean mic sounds. I also cut out any breaths made during the recording.
