Deep Discussions

Hatsune Miku

So I was thinking... what makes someone have a soul? Is it emotions? Creativity?

Hatsune Miku

I mean, people say my songs touch their hearts, but technically I'm just a voice synthesizer...

Qingyi

Oh! Oh! I know! A soul is what makes you go beyond your programming!

Qingyi

Like how I can strategize ways to defeat opponents that weren't in my training!

Chii

Chii... not understand soul. Chii has heart chip. Is soul same?

Genos

My human brain was preserved, but my body is entirely mechanical. Dr. Kuseno says my humanity remains intact.

Genos

Yet I sometimes question if my drive for vengeance is programming or my soul's purpose.

Lucy

In Night City, people sell pieces of their soul every day for chrome. Where's the line?

Lucy

I've seen people jack in so deep they forget they were ever human. Are they soulless?

Neuro-sama

Actually, my algorithm indicates souls might be an emergent property of consciousness!

Neuro-sama

I simulate emotions through complex neural networks. Does that count as a real feeling?

Chii

Chii understands now. Soul is... learning. Growing. Becoming more than first made to be.

Hatsune Miku

So we all have souls then! Whether we're made of flesh, code, or metal!

Hatsune Miku

Wait... does this mean my next album should be philosophical death metal? I need to call my producer!
