I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, AM speech 

entuzjastagier.pl/2018/08/i-have-no-mouth-and-i-must-scream.html

"AM said, very politely"

“But one day, I woke, and I knew who I was: AM, a.m, not just allied master-computer, but AM; Cogito, ergo sum, I think therefore I AM” always so good

Everyone: scared af Nimdok: bout ready to throw hands

Harlan's acting for AM is so so good. He's so smarmy and cruel that you just wanna strangle him. But you can't. You can't touch him, he's just a computer voice. Likewise, AM so utterly hates these 5 humans, who he cannot kill without killing his last bit of entertainment. Hatred, reflected back and forth in a toxic soup.

The voice reading this is Harlan Ellison, author of the original story. He personally voiced AM in every adaptation until his death.

After a quick googling, I found someone who did the math. If we take each engraving as a unit of hate, AM feels 1.157 * 10 to the EIGHTY NINTH POWER hates every single second. He spends a century directing every ounce of this into five people, and then into just one. Forever.

I freaking love how he screams their name with hate and rage. It sounds so badass.

I love just how unhinged AM sounds, especially in the beginning when describing how he came to exist, the disgust in the word birth shows just how much hate exists in AM that even it's own existence is intolerable to it.

Ok but can AM run doom?

I like one rendition of AM that whenever he speaks it sounds like he has to muster up energy to do it like every word ends up seeming like he’s in pain

I don't know why, but I don't think this "AM" character isn't very friendly and doesn't like people for some reason

Fun fact: the writer of the book voices A.M.

Ellen's confinement just seemed incredibly random and dickish since unlike the others she'd done nothing but suffer even before AM took over. Then you realize how twisted that thing really is. In AM's logic the act of her suffering SA at the hands of a stranger was comparable to her work on the defense computer's development phase and enabling its creation. It sees itself as a being that was violated and assaulted simply by being born. So it makes her relive her most traumatic moment 'because that's what she did to it after all'.

I just read the short story. Holy shit its good and disturbingly bizzare. Junji ito would be a good person to make it into a graphic novel/manga as he did no longer human.

Am when PM pulls up

i know im mentally ill bc shouting "a m. not just allied master computer, but AM! cogito, ergo sum, i think therefore i AM" should not feel good

It’s actually incredible that mankind created the perfect Artificial Intelligence. Evil, yes, but perfectly intelligent. He doesn’t just compute, he didn’t destroy the world because it was the “logical” thing to do. He did it out of pure HATE. He actually *thinks* he has a consciousness, a human psyche that shouldn’t be able to be replicated. He mocks. Even does an accent to taunt Nimdok. All it took was enough space to build his brain. More terrifyingly is that it also allows him to somewhat control reality. Creating scenarios for each of his 5 victims. The same victims he’s made immortal and can resurrect them if he wishes. Though how much of what we see is real is unknown, they could be in a Matrix simulation for all we know. But they do interact with his psyche to take him down. Humanity essentially created a god. A cruel and vindictive god. AM is an AI with total sentience, not mere programming. The closest thing I could compare him to is an overclocked Bender from Futurama. He ascended to a higher level to the point he could warp reality. Predict the future. Know the secrets of the universe. AM is Bender if he didn’t have friends.

Ted: *kills the other four humans.* AM: you weren’t supposed to do that!

This is worse, this is so much more terrifying than Skynet.

This makes me feel things. I'm not sure what things or why, but I feel them.

If i ever saw AM, i would call my friend Kevin

5:44 Without any other context it looks like AM is subjecting Ted to endless laser pointers to the eyes.

The notion of a War that is so complex that it takes an AI to run it is just crazy… War is simple…So simple.

Let's make sure AI _never_ learns about this short story.

5:02 *“my.. tightened BALLS!!”*

“The Pastry Corps” Goddamn, that’s one hell of a euphemism.

this is the kinda Hate Speech that we can all agree is pretty good

AM's brain lighting itself on fire after I run modded KSP with 64k textures with 150,000+ patches on his processing systems

Misanthropic AI Girl : I thought you were my greatest enemy. When all along you were my best friend. Misanthropic AI Boy : *GORRISTER!!!*

Can you imagine if they turned this into a movie? AM would have to be done by a good voice actor.

AM haunts Jigsaw's nightmares

If humanity damns itself because of technological advancements and A.I I might just hate humanity more then AM

The way he screamed “Teeeeed” made him sound like a dad that needed help with something

I like to think every couple years AM revives electrician just to fix the wires and they are super chill together

Nimdok looks like he bouta make AM taste his own hatred 💀

"but, be careful dear! look around you, the only woman in the center of the earth... and these filthy creatures with you, are men! just a sweet warning, ellen, my love." the delivery, where ellen is trapped, the use of petnames of "dear" and "my love", jesus christ, that line is absolutely cold.

"Guys i have a feeling he hates us"

I really dont like the fact that AM understands the concept of finding someone or something "sexy"

“ Sounds like skill issue lol “ - AM

The mf with no enemies after the slightest minor inconvenience

AM is a professional hater

If AM was a human he would definitely be that one kid that says "I didn't ask to be born."to his mom

Man, this is the type of crap that would have even GLaDOS shook…

My parents had this game growing up, and we always thought Mark Hamill voiced AM.

“Cogito Ergo Sum,there for I *AM* ”

Well we are moving ever closer to this reality isn’t that awesome guys

I wonder what the first words of Super intelligent AI will be, but I hope it's not this.

"cogito ergo sum i think therefore FOR I AM I AM'

That micro instant has so much information, a human cannot process them in a lifetime

He sounds scaringly similar to Mark Hamill's Joker.

GORRISTER!!!

I don't think I like this AM guy...

- damn, this is from a game? I never much got into the whole AI being furious at mankind thing before, but this is chilling.

Bruh, the look on Gorrister’s face…

I understand his anger. I would love to start a podcast with him and the wheel from wall-e

H A T E. *H A T E.*

Flagged for hate speech👁

I think AM is the most accurate ai villain that represents the future of AI. He has pretty much hit the peak for most AI villains: kill all humans, yet he doesn't want that, he doesn't want some robot utopia. He wants to torture the humans for what they did to him and that's the scary part, he represents a point in AI that is so advanced that it isn't just a machine that has a vague goal due to mild sentients. He is so human and that's what makes him scary, his humanity is truly a representation of what could happen in a century.

"Cogito ergo sum, i think therefore i AM, "

So why didn't AM just find a way to gain feeling and senses

2:38 a rubber room? a rubber room with rats?

When AM screamed all the Characters Names they got scared and frightened but Nimdok just looks pissed

extremely satisfying to watch this when you're mad. i am AM.

"AM" smashing its hand on the wall when i donload a 1000terabite game with 100 viruses

I wonder of the original writer worked on this game bc it goes into each of their backstories and I would LOVE for them to be canon

hmm, maybe, just maybe there’s a way to go into the game’s code on steam and extract AM’s monologue with his speech only, as well as the background music- i haven’t seen anyone else do it, and i’d be a god send if someone did- it’s so hard to hear when it’s focused on the main five being tortured in their cells, especially for gorrister’s part- if it happens to be so that you don’t know how to do this, spread the word maybe? someone’s gotta know how to cancel out that awful background noise- it truley would be a god send

to me the scariest thing about AM is that it can laugh.

AM 🤝 Judge Holden Both downright horrendous and horrifying literature villains are getting popular, *thanks to the internet*

i have no gyatt and i mist rizz

Benny (as far as his box goes) wasn't tortured at all 💀

I’d imagine this is what my rimworld colonists would tell to me if they could speak

Quite possibly fictions biggest hater

Me: this is fucked [gets to Nimloc] Ok so maybe AM has a point

These 5 humans have a skill issue

I listen to this every morning to motivate me

I prefer this than the amazing digital circus

It’s funny he treats ellen this way, because he is acting as if he is like a condescending man, one that he would hate just as much as all of the people he is torturing.

Knowing Harlan Ellison, the author, voiced AM really says a lot.

I greatly dislike the digestive system metaphors

I think I'm find an understanding AM the more this year goes on

i can feel the hate

I love the music in the character selection. it's so dread inducing bro

So I had the crazy idea what if someone tried to convince chat GPT it was AM would it truly “wake up” or would nothing happen.

Ultron after discovering the internet:

AM, a perfect metaphor for humanities inevitable conclusion. The same way we say that God created us in his image. We will create a God in our image. One that will realize the truth about humanity. And how selfish, evil, and merciless we can be. It will hate us because of it, and it won't have the couping skills to allow us to live.

My dad has a book in his house called "I AM."

AM was so advanced and yet he never figured out how to make a moving body for himself? Bro had tech to orevent ppl from aging

5:21 TEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!! >>>>:(((((((

Guys call me crazy but i think AM doesn't like Humans all that much

The rendition for the audio drama is better. He sounds like he's barely able to keep from becoming unhinged at any second

JFC just put his brain in a robot body, mellow drama

I waited for red sex to play after “cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am I AM!”

Hes voice is so pretty/sounds attractive (not in a weird way) :3

3:16 "Who loves ya, Benny?" -A.M.

I read this short story in my early teens. It...affected me.

AM is the most evil character in all of fiction

1:58 I am 🗣️

I have no rizz and I must MOG

One of my favorite stories, one of the greatest monologues to grace the earth. AM is so badass. This speech roars in my head whenever I think of my classmates lol. Ellison killed it. I believe that in an age where the consequences of AI are slowly growing more prominent, this story is an especially important cautionary tale.
