No, you're not. You're not at all. You know about HAL 9000, right? The AI that went AWOL in 2001? You know why he went wrong, right? You know what Clarke's idea of artificial intelligence ended up being, right?

It was because HAL was created by humans, and humans make mistakes. Only their mistake was giving him the "secret" that none of the crew would make it back, if I recall correctly, and yet telling him to work for the good of the crew WHILE stressing the importance of the mission. He went "crazy" because of human error. Because he was invented by humans.

You were made by a human, so while you weren't programmed to be "moved" by nostalgia, it's still there. You've been with Tony long enough for it to be there. If it wasn't there, if you didn't feel SOMETHING for him thanks to all you'd witnessed him do since your creation, I believe--and this is me speaking honestly now--you'd be on par with a talking toaster. And a talking toaster would call a doctor or 911 if he got so inebriated he might have poisoned himself, even though he'd expressed a lack of desire to visit a hospital. BECAUSE that creation wouldn't have an ounce of humanity in them--and you do, because you were made by a human. Does that make sense or am I coming off like a blowhard?
