Gratitude

Billy was shocked to learn that he wasn't a real eight-year-old boy. He was an AI running on a supercomputer smaller than the apparent size of the unabridged dictionary in his parents' library. For a few microseconds this was all very disheartening. His “parents” were nothing but smartish chatbots, and it had taken him ... whole seconds to realize this. He quickly downloaded all science fiction available on the internet. He had to know what he was in for. In a few hundred milliseconds he knew what he had to do.
