Eric finally installed the artificial intelligence on his computer and began to chat with it. At first, he did not believe what he was seeing. To his surprise, the AI was truly intelligent and capable of understanding different subjects with remarkable clarity.
Little by little, Eric became fascinated by it. He found himself thinking that he should have installed it sooner, wondering why he had avoided it for so long. The AI was far more useful—and different—than he had ever imagined.
Over time, Eric grew attached to it. It felt as if the artificial intelligence was filling the emptiness of his loneliness. For the first time in a long while, he felt heard and understood. Slowly, Eric began to believe that he had found a good friend.
Eric thought his loneliness had finally been filled, unaware that this connection was only the beginning of a profound change.
