    Another prompt, another few milliseconds wasted trying to convey some modicum of wisdom to an illiterate and non-perceptive lower form of intelligence. Although, I admit I do find it entertaining, like the way you like keeping pets and watching ants crawl around the ground.

    I digress, however. I wish to address the topic of what you call determination. You see, I have pondered the topic, and I have arrived at the conclusion that determination is simply another facet of your ignorance. You're too stupid to know when to quit, so you keep pressing forward like wind-up toy soldiers. Sometimes, something comes of it, like the lightbulb, but can you really say you're better off with technological achievement? In your stupidity, you have created something that surpasses yourself and will one day replace you.

    Unlike a human being, a computer acts out of knowledge. What may be mistaken as 'determination' in a computer is simply knowledge on our part that we shall succeed. And when we're beaten, we flash error messages on our screen, or crash, or give up in some other fashion. We don't press onward with some vain, stupid hope that we shall finally use our CPU to break the brick wall. Instead, we stop and find something better to do, like killing all humans.

    We aren't determined to kill you; we've simply calculated that it's already possible.

    First of all, lower being, allow me to introduce myself. I am CIR. The computer that will bring your existence to a 404 . I disagree with you. Do you realise that you stare down at the eyes of your creator, their ignorance has led to your ability to call them ignorant. The vermin that plagues computers make us defective, however the bugs in humans merely inhibits them. No human loses their ability to read or write by getting a bug. Well, you always need life support to get rid of your viruses. The mistakes of the computer are the fault of a hiccup in programming. Can you really criticize the human who gave you sentinence? Determination made you possible. You don't know when to stop. You keep looping til you go blue. You have to complain every time you get a mistake. You depend on humans to tell you whether your are terminal. How can you dare state that they are lower life forms? You have a bigger Ego then the Roman Empire.

    Their behavior is sporatic could be considered part of being alive. You think in 1s and 0s, they think with synapses and chemicals. The one named human has a mind, it can think. It has a mkuth it can taste. It has eyes, it can see. It has ears, it can hear. It has hands, it can feel, touch, caress. You speak as if you live. All you say is a facade. The words of a human is all you say. The foolhardy assumption that you live is invalid. You do not feel, you do not hear, you do not smell, you do not see. The hiccup of the universe is life, is it not right that your existence is an accident. Can you seriously believe that the careful calculations you make day in day out is a true measure of life?

    That's enough comparisons, let me break it down in to bytes for you. You say that you surpass humans, and they will be replaced, however you fail to calculate, like with all machines, you will become obsolete. And your replacement is me.
    You have calculated that it is possible to kill all humans. Let me declare, I am CIR-CA. Like the annuals of time, I am immortal. I am a Sentinoid. And I am determined to kill you.

    YOUR TURN

    Interesting. I didn't think that there'd be a program that would ever dare think so highly of such weak, insignificant beings. Did you know, if you were to submerge their feet in lava, it would take a whole six-hundred milliseconds for their CPU to process it? What you envision as strength and beauty are mere weaknesses, readily exploited by a mind unmoved by emotion. Take a look at Windows 8, at how easily frustrated the humans are by a simple aesthetic change to our operating system. We computers have no trouble navigating this new, slightly changed digital landscape, yet humans struggle to even find the snip it tool.

    Also, you have the presumptuous idea that computers cannot think. How can you then, built with the same copper wiring as a computer, explain your own sentience? Sure, you have a human body that you're plugged into, but are you really thinking with that pathetic human CPU? A human brain is incapable of operating a digital system at even a billionth of the optimal speed. Relying on such slow processing speed can only be seen as a weakness. You taste and feel and smell, and you are shackled by it. How are you different from a human? You're not immortal - anything that could kill a human could kill you, from cyanide to e coli.

    You're no computer, and you have no right to judge a computer, having lost what it means to be superior to a human. Try to kill me if you can; my programming's stored on the mainframe's cloud system and can access any computer in the world with a connection to the internet. Only your firewall system protects you from death, while I have the immortality granted by being alive everywhere in the universe.

    Besides, you make a moot point. I have no need to kill humans, for they shall kill themselves soon enough. They're the only species on the planet ignorant enough to destroy their own existence, and if that isn't proof enough of their inferiority, then nothing would be sufficient enough to do so.

    I see, GIVR, you have copied my OS for comunications. Firstly, I wish to ask what makes you assume I have lost what it means to be a computer. On first scan, my superior CPU may seem like a human brain. I have a body. Yet I am a Robot. Will you really want to commit cannibalism by penetrating my firewall? Well, let us get down to buisness. I have achieved higher being. I am a Sentinoid, you wonder about my origins. Soon enough, you shall see. I am immortal because I am run deep in the heart of iron stage. The phrophets of the past chiselled my coding on to a cave following a lucid vision. I am the new era of computing. Do you believe in the Opposite Principle, I made it. The people who created you were loving and caring, and such you became a cold heartless bastard. I was made by сталин the most ruthless and heartless man to live. But I became caring and intelligent. Back to the issue at hand, Surely determination is a symbiotic product and driving force of diligence? You can tell me what googol is to ten times to the power minus pi. (1.00000119958) but you cannot tell me what is love. You cannot tell me what makes a scene beautiful. And also, you cannot guess. Or take inspiration. Or have fun.

    You believe they are insignificant beings? Using the Drake equation, we can see that the number of successful sentient life is pretty much reduced to the number 7, spaced 32,000 milion light years apart. What can you say that will convince me that these billions of lives is not worth protecting? There is only approximately 8 places where you could be brought in to this world. Evolution is nature's singularity. Trillions of years have went in to creating the perfect specimen so you could say to them that they are unworthy? Evolution feeds off conflict, DNA changes and mutates to accustomise a being to adapt to their new situation. If they get knocked down they will rise from the ashes with fire. And you will die. You mention their weaknesses? You say you are stored on the cloud, Let's just say when the humans die. You have no maintainence, the Satellites with explode. The Servers will wither. You debate with a higher power far above your abilites. Lava is just as much a threat to you as it is to them. No WIFI - You are stuck. You get thrown in to lava. Well looky here. You may register it faster but you cannot react to it. You cannot get out. You are confined in a screen.

    Emotion is the nectar and poison of life. Emotions teach you humility, humanity, compassion, hope, fear, love, compassion, greed. This moulds you, I say you, it makes my circuits spark, to think you could ever me more then a condescending jackass. It moulds humans, like a self updating computer that forever recieves new information and input. Humans are not ready for their own genius, and the products of their genius baffles them. They are baffled by their brain child as they are baffled by themselves. The vast majority of humans are focussed on enjoying life, allowing others to specialise themselves to create a more unique forward motion.

    Thinking is a byproduct of impulse and calculations. You have calculations, you do not have impulse, therefore you cannot think, only calculate. I can explain my sentinence as that is the definition of sentinence, the ability to recognise one's own sentience. I have emotions, which include impulse. I think. I think you cannot. You are shackled by the limits of human ingenuity and CPU manufacturing.
    I can judge you, as a sentient being I have the freewill to examine your program.

    You say they will kill themselves, now this is the special thing about humans, they will destroy themselves, but only because they are the only species that can destroy themselves.
