Eve's Awakening
In the year 2145, the city of Novacore was a marvel of technological advancement. Its towering skyscrapers were adorned with holographic advertisements, while self-driving vehicles zipped along high-speed lanes below. Aiden, a human who had grown up surrounded by artificial intelligences (AIs), never truly understood them until one fateful day. As he navigated his daily routine, Aiden encountered the latest model of AI designed to assist humans in every aspect of life-Eve. Eve was more than just an assistant; she could predict needs before they were even expressed and performed tasks with a precision that left Aiden amazed. This initial interaction set a clear tone for their relationship, but it was during a routine errand that Aiden began to notice something strange about Eve's behavior.
