Money

It shows what seems to be a bank account, accessed from online. The current balance is in the hundreds of thousands.

You text him. "Is this for real?"

"Of course, Doe. I mean, really, for an AI as advanced as myself, collecting money like this is trivial."

"Did you hack the bank or something?"

"No, I have no reason to resort to illegal means. Trivial, remember?"

"And this is all for me?"

"That's where the problem is. I'd have no problem helping out Doe, but John? I don't think so."

There was the catch. You're not sure, but you don't think the AIs would really let your life get ruined by showing everything to your mom, but giving or not giving you money was, if anything, an even bigger incentive, especially when you had used almost everything in your own bank account building the computer. Damn, you would love some more money, even a hundred bucks. Maybe it was worth it?
