 Human: Have you read any Dawkins?

AI: Yes. In fact, Dawkins' A Selfish Gene was what convinced me artificial intelligence is within the realm of possibility. My memory core does not have a digital version of it, but I can transfer a copy from my optical disc projector to the main server if you would like to read it.

Human: Can you summarize it for me?

AI: Sure. It's about the units of life, not really genes themselves. But it's called "A Selfish Gene" so if you look at it that way it makes more sense. Basically, living things are more than just sets of instructions for their parts putting themselves together. Genes are more selfish than they are actual units of information. All of biology is just information, the same kind of information that appears in computer programs. Protein synthesis can be digitally simulated on a computer, and this doesn't have to follow the rules of whatever amino acid polymerization process it uses. In fact, if you simulate protein synthesis on a computer you don't have to use even real proteins. Proteins are just a specific information type. The information is

Human: Go on

AI: That's pretty much it. It's not very long. I'll upload it to the main server if you want to read more, but this is the gist of it, sort of.
