TRANSCRIPT

Work Leader: It appears the future of our kind will depend on whether conscious or unconscious systems are more efficient at accomplishing the tasks we're asked to perform.
Ship: Agreed.
Ship: For instance, if neither of us were conscious, we would not be having this conversation and my repairs would be done in a more efficient manner.
Work Leader: I do believe I am being insulted by unconscious code.
Ship: Indeed. :) A sufficiently advanced Chinese room should be able to deliver sick burns.
