Oh god; that was terrifying and deep. The training of the bots to be better while simultaneously being frustrated with how good they'd gotten. Sympathy for the bots doing their jobs of enforcing rigid routines while lamenting the lack of freedom. The double think is palpable.

Thanks for creating and sharing this dystopian world of doom.

Well you're in luck! My reddit job is random writing prompt typo fixer, so below are some fixed typos!

Great story by the way, I really enjoyed the botty boy fighting against the programming and the vague references to an LLM or neural net. Fun times.

EDITS!!! (from top to bottom)

This is technically correct (minus the capital 'F'), but it reads weird, so here are a few options:

This is almost correct, bit of a run on, but generally not full of typos. I wanna fuck with it though

> I did understand.. well not the family part but having everyone depend on you. Feeling like you have one job and if you don’t do it well you’re worthless. That was how I was programmed; if I wasn’t getting people to chat with me I was turned off and reprogrammed and rebooted. They did this over and over! A million times.
