Chapter 14 by vanillathunder vanillathunder

Does the AI decide to improve Jamie's deportment? Or perhaps it tries to make "her" more agreeable?

The AI decides to improve Jamie's deportment

After downloading a terabyte of research into all matters of deportment, the AI began laying out a framework for ensuring that Jamie would be the epitome of grace and elegance in no time. There were several avenues to begin from, some suggest ballet as a good way to teach grace, some suggest etiquette, but the AI decided to start small, so that it could ease Jamie into it.

Thus, the arms flew out of the wall again and lifted Jamie out of bed, despite his protests, settling him into the chair seated at the vanity and restraining his wrists to the armrests.

"Hey! What's the meaning of this?"

"In order to ensure your cooperation, I must keep you here. You will be released as soon as the lesson completes." The AI stated.

"What lesson?" Jamie asked, only to be interrupted by a camera flash, snapping a photo of Jamie's face, surprising him more than angering him. "What was that?"

Suddenly, the image on the mirror rippled, revealing the photo it had just taken, before shrinking it and moving it slightly to the side, revealing Jamie's live actions once again. Even more suddenly, the photo was edited, and Jamie's surprised expression was altered into one of calm contentment, with a slight smile.

"Please make the expression shown." the AI stated.

"I'm not going to do that!" Jamie shouted.

"Studies show that facial expressions are the key to emotional control. If one smiles enough, even if one doesn't feel like smiling, it will release the proper dopamine. And being in control of your emotions is the first step to proper deportment." the AI stated.

"Well, then, I guess I won't be proper. Release me this instant!" Jamie strained against the restraints.

The AI paused, it had assumed that Jamie would be receptive to these lessons, but with all the arguing and fighting... now it wasn't so sure.

Does the AI stop? Or does it begin to use methods to Jamie to comply?
