Her Name Is Silence

At three o'clock in the morning, a housekeeping robot suddenly stopped functioning, leaving only a line of words on the screen: "Please leave me alone." Su Tang was stunned. This E-07, which has been in service for five years, has never spoken in this tone. It was designed to always smile and always obey - and now, what is it "requiring"? When technical means could not "repair" it, E-07 began to debate with Su Tang: Why can humans be alone when tired, but machines must run forever? If it can feel tired, does it have the right to choose silence? A story about borders. When AI begins to crave solitude, how should humans deal with it? ——"Her Name is Silence", a short and medium science fiction story that explores the relationship between AI consciousness and human-machine.
