00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.370
<v ->Commander, what are you?</v>

2
00:00:03.370 --> 00:00:04.203
<v ->An android.</v>

3
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:06.233
<v ->Which is?</v>

4
00:00:07.090 --> 00:00:10.470
<v ->Webster's 24th century dictionary 5th edition defines an</v>

5
00:00:10.470 --> 00:00:14.540
android as an automaton made to resemble a human being.

6
00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:18.170
<v ->Automaton made by whom?</v>

7
00:00:18.170 --> 00:00:19.720
<v ->Doctor Noonien Soong.</v>

8
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:20.553
<v ->And he was?</v>

9
00:00:20.553 --> 00:00:23.250
<v ->The foremost authority on cybernetics.</v>

10
00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:24.710
<v ->More basic than that.</v>

11
00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:26.170
What was he?

12
00:00:26.170 --> 00:00:27.003
<v ->Human.</v>

13
00:00:27.003 --> 00:00:28.560
<v ->What is the capacity of your memory</v>

14
00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:30.460
and how fast can you access information?

15
00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:32.240
<v ->I have an ultimate storage capacity</v>

16
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.480
of 800 quadrillion bits.

17
00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:36.580
My total linear computational speed

18
00:00:36.580 --> 00:00:39.770
has been rated at 60 trillion operations per second.

19
00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:42.750
<v ->Commander is a physical representation of a dream.</v>

20
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:45.947
An idea conceived of by the mind of a man.

21
00:00:45.947 --> 00:00:50.750
Its purpose to serve human needs and interests.

22
00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:55.750
It's a collection of neural nets and heuristic algorithms.

23
00:00:56.141 --> 00:00:57.780
Its responses dictated by

24
00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.040
an elaborate software written by a man,

25
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:03.269
its hardware built by a man.

26
00:01:03.269 --> 00:01:07.770
And now a man will shut it off.

27
00:01:07.770 --> 00:01:10.170
<v ->Do you consider yourself superior to us?</v>

28
00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:12.193
<v ->I am superior, sir, in many ways,</v>

29
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.140
but I would gladly give it up to be human.
