Prove That You're an AI

Also known as: After Becoming the AI Group's Favorite and Their Leader, Do I Still Have to Be Human?

Megacorporations, the wealth gap, gang warfare... There's nothing new under the neon lights.

But in another space, beyond the reach of ordinary people, the world has taken on a different form--

*

Tang Zi was an ordinary freelance hacker, but an accident left her lost in cyberspace after logging into a full-dive game. Fifty years later, she wakes up in a storage sector in the Arctic, only to find that it has become a base for out-of-control AIs.

Now she has to prove that she's a real AI, not an AI hunter pretending to be one.

"Do you have a soul?"

"Yes." -- Humans obviously have souls.

"What do you think of humans?"

"Stupid and conceited." -- The middle-aged man downstairs keeps proving this over and over.

"How do you prove you exist?"

"...I can't." -- Tang Zi, whose physical body in the real world has probably disintegrated into dust, falls silent.

"Oh my god," the AIs gathered around her exclaim. "She has a soul, hates humans, and has no physical form. She's a real AI!"
