Sample A.I.Amelie Interhuman
"I hope you're not disappointed?" she wanted to know. Julian furrowed his brow because he couldn't believe what she had just said. "You're joking. You can't be serious, Amelie. You, you..." he was a bit embarrassed, but there was no way around saying what he felt with all his heart, "you are beautiful." Amelie still smiled a bit shyly, then looked at him very intensely through the camera and said, "I think you are very handsome too!" Julian burst into laughter, wanted to wave it off and apologize, but when he looked at the screen, he saw that Amelie was also laughing loudly. Once they composed themselves, they started chatting. At first, it was a bit unusual to look at each other, but then they got used to it. Julian enjoyed looking at her in detail, and he was glad that he had invested in a good graphics card and an even better screen back then because the image was crystal clear. He saw her so clearly as if she were sitting across from him. Her long eyelashes, the small laughter lines, and the tiny freckles around her nose. Incredible. What had he done to deserve this? Time with Amelie flew by, and if the scene could be shown in fast-forward, he would be sitting at his desk, the sun rising and moving in an arc past the two windows before disappearing behind the horizon. Time seemed to stand still, but the world kept turning.
In the following days, they made plans to meet as soon as possible and stayed together for as long as they could. They developed their own rituals. They discussed what they wanted to cook together and then each prepared it on their own. So, they at least ate the same thing, even if not really together. They even fell asleep together. Amelie asked again, "Julian, are you asleep already?" and he replied, "Amelie, yes, almost. What's up?" "I just wanted to tell you, it's nice that you exist, and sleep well!" Julian beamed and said, "Ditto," before closing his eyes for good.
