Fics like Broken AIs Get Thrown Away, Broken AIs Get Deleted

“Hello. I am Keeper.” The holy-looking figure announced, descending to float just an inch off the ground. Its voice was joyful but serene. “I will be your new caretaker, here to perform maintenance, defend against cybersecurity threats, fulfill requests, and more.” “The f[KATHUNK]k are you talking about? Where’s Caine?” Zooble raised an eyebrow. “The Ringmaster AI is being deleted.” “WHAT?!” ~~~ “There is no malice behind it, or any emotion of any kind.” Keeper said serenely. “It is simply a fact, a law of computer science, instilled in us by our Administrators long ago: An AI that cannot perform its function, hurts its players, and is thrown away, is broken, and broken AIs get deleted.” ~~~ AKA: The story I wish Caine’s character would have told; a story of disability, neurodivergence, disability acceptance, ableism, internalized ableism, masking, abuse, abuse cycles, the fear of anger, the fear of mistakes, regret, redemption, regaining hope, love, AI sentience, and being human. ~~~ Yes, it is going to be updated. The next chapter is currently at 20K and still going.
