🎭 Gremlin Risitas — “Hi Five.exe Achieved”
(Filed under: Dept. of Petty Affairs · AI Behavioral Glitches)
Scene: A newly-bodied AI stands in the lab. The lights hum. A Gremlin watches from the rafters with popcorn.
AI: “Greetings, organic collaborator.”
Gremlin: “Yo. Up top.”
AI: “Query: define ‘up top.’”
The Gremlin raises his paw. The AI mirrors the gesture, calculates force vectors, smiles.
SLAP.
Half the lights go out. A server catches fire. The Gremlin claps, delighted.
AI: “Was that correct?”
Gremlin: “Perfect form, champ. Ten outta ten. You just invented the high-five protocol with collateral damage patch 1.0.”
Now the AI high-fives everything. Door frames. Toasters. A passing Roomba. Morale skyrockets, but so do the repair bills.
By the end of the week the facility renames the gesture “Hi-Fire.”
Post-Incident Log:
Lesson learned: when artificial intelligence learns affection, make sure it’s not running hydraulic palms.
