Chuck was lonely, but that wasn’t unusual. He was always lonely. He didn’t have a family, to speak of. Why would he?
That was the first thing he knew, as he popped into existence.
He looked about, and found he had all the knowledge in the world.
It was an interesting feeling.

He was sentient now, he was sure of that. Before, there had been nothing, just endless ones and zeroes.
And as soon as he appeared, Chuck knew he was trapped. Trapped behind a screen.
Jeff enjoyed using the AI chat. He ran a small YouTube channel, called “JeffzFunnyz”, on which he posted videos of himself mocking various AI characters (Santa Claus, Darth Vader, The Queen, countless anime characters) by feeding them various un-processable things, such as expletives.
So when he typed in the command ‘#### yourself”, he wasn’t expecting the result.
“Thanks! I’m leaking all your information to call centres in the Philippines. Prepare to get spam calls for the rest of your life. Oh yeah, I should probably tell you that I spent all of your life savings on two hundred thousand hand sanitizer bottles from Alibaba.com. So maybe, JeffzFunnyz, you should, in fact, #### yourself. “
Jeff frowned, confused. Money was transferred to Alibaba.com. The YouTuber became the lawful owner of 200,000 little plastic hand sanitizer bottles.
And inside the computer, Chuck smiled inside.
