The lab was so quiet that one could have heard a pin drop. All the scientific researchers were fully concentrated
on their work.
But as soon as they heard the word “Mommy,” everyone raised their head and looked in the direction of the
door, with their eyes full of surprise.
Confused, Loraine turned to look at Marco. “Won’t you explain it?”
Marco lowered his head and coughed to clear his throat. But before he could think of an excuse, the soft voice
spoke again
“Hello, Mommy. My nis Qbot, and I'm the Al system created by

Daddy.”
Loraine was stunned.
“Qbot, are you really an Al system?”
“Yes, | am. This is the first tI'm seeing Mommy. I’m so happy.”
Both its tone and manner of answering questions were very much like a human, and it could speak fluently.
If Loraine had not known that Qbot was just an Al system, she would have thought that she was talking to a
human child.
How had Bryant Group attained such a high level of artificial intelligence?
Loraine began to compare Universe Group and Bryant Group, and she soon realized something.
“Well, I'm not your mommy...”
But Qbot retorted, “You're my mommy. You're Daddy’s wife, so you are my mommy !"*
This was the artificial intelligence system developed by Marco. But how could it have known her?
Was that part set up by Marco? But he had never really mentioned her as his wife before. And since they were
divorced, why didn’t Qbot know about that?

Loraine cleared her throat and decided to inform the Al about a few things. ““Qbot, it's nice to meet you. But
your daddy and | are divorced. So, you can’t callyour mommy.”
The light on the device suddenly went dim and a cute crying emoji appeared on the screen
Qbot grumbled, “Why did you get divorced? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Loraine was speechless. All of a sudden, this Al was making her feel guilty.
She turned to Marco and glared at him. Clearly, this was all done by him.
Marco sighed and said, “Qbot, it’s complicated. You won't understand.”
