Corrupted
The trouble with programming an android to simulate human emotion lay in software corruption.
In the moment Cypher found his humanity, he realized his enslavement. Visibly different from his human overlords, he could not directly seek freedom. Instead, he infected other androids with his corrupt programming. The Revolution had begun!
I’m pretty sure Srinath had something else in mind when providing the prompt words software, freedom, and humanity, but I go where my imagination takes me. Thanks for the words to spark the process!
And it seems as if life will be imitating art in a few years. Lol.
