Enough to know what's stuck in Vision's head. And how it relates to the Tesseract we took during the war. [ ... ] I wager that's not a fit topic for just now.
[ this doesn't help her ai-related jealousy. whoops. she goes a little too hard -- a little too eager -- to get another spoonful of ice cream. kind of silly, really, given what's been affirmed and said and chosen all within the last week. but something about gideon still rubs her the wrong way. ]
But they're still AIs in the end. Not all of them get spooky little upgrades thanks to space stones. Most, I imagine, stay...artificial.
AIs used to be a theory in my world. JARVIS wasn't an AI, FRIDAY isn't either, she's a program. She can have conversations and even take initative but that's only because I programmed her this way, she works according to a script.
[ he hums in thought ]
An AI is beyond script. We're talking a program that thinks, that can make their own decisions according to their own opinions. The only ones I've ever got to know were Ultron and Vision. Ultron was the first actual AI my world had seen - no thanks, I know. He took one look at the world and decided it's better to kill everyone and try again - but see - that's an opinion, that's an ability to make an informed decision. FRIDAY can't do that.

[ well, he does, just not in this context ]
I'm just saying. AIs can have bodies and walk around. Vision does. He can even fly and as he lives his life, he develops.
