Ai Girl Ep. 5 Reaction

Gen is in love beyond dreams we could see her in firts episode (2 scenes) and in ep 5 when ran ask her to hack the computer later she mention her again in ep 6 when she tell p'Le how she got the USB with info, she also has conversations with rann through phone

Episode 5 starts as the lead researcher is watching Ai’s “core pulse”, and the minister appears in his office, who heard that they’ve obtained new data on the robot – and wants to know exactly when he will get the product. The researcher reports that the final test is done, and he will get it as soon as the robot is called back from the tester, reset and uploaded with his daughter’s basic data, and the have installed his daughter’s facial features (so the robot doesn’t look like his daughter atm?). This will take some time, and surely he wouldn’t want the robot to introduce itself to his wife by saying “I am model A382 to take your daughter’s place, please assign me a name.” while wearing his daughter’s face, as his wife would be heartbroken. The minister give him a final extension before he shuts the lab down. Irene hides as the minister is leaving. Meanwhile, Ai is watching Gen who is shopping for instant noodles, claiming that it’s their dinner. Ai points out that according to her database – but gen stops her right there admitting that she know eating too much of this stuff isn’t good for her, but argues that when she’s up against a deadline, these things are her best friends, and it’s better than starving, she claims. And she claims that Ai is a health nut, and hasn’t had “the good stuff” yet. Ai thinks Gen is just too lazy to cook. At home, Gen is preparing instant noodles adding lots of flavor packs while Ai reminds her that instant noodles contain glutamate, preservatives and food coloring that can be harmful to humans, while Gen adding “if consumed in excessive amounts” and claims that she has knows it since elementary school. Ai wants to know if Gen knows what UPF is, and Gen hears UFO and asks if it’s aliens, but UPF stands for “ultra-processed foods” that undergo extensive processing and often contain artificial ingredients, like the instant noodles she is currently cooking – and Gen just puts a bunch of noodles into her mouth to shut her up. Ai finds it “delicious enough to die for” and claims it’s no wonder that humans love processed for this much. Gen wants to know if it’s tasty, and claims she doesn’t need to eat it if she doesn’t like it, she can finish all three packs of noodles herself, she claims. Ai admits is delicious, and wants to have some, too. And Gen kisses Ai for it, claiming she is just too cute. Gen sits down and doesn’t see Ai is smiling, then is sitting down beside her as Gen is claiming she will finish it herself if she doesn’t hurry up and Ai moving closer to her. Later, Gen needs her help with something, and takes a few snapshots of her face. She doesn’t believe two people could coincidentally look this identical and wants to hack the civil registry to find out who that woman is. Ai points out that this is illegal, and Gen claims that’s rich coming from someone who isn’t even registered with the government or with immigration, and tells her to relax, arguing that hacking is her hobby, and if things get bad she’ll stop. But she thinks Ai can help her, with Ai claiming her system prohibits her from breaking the law. Gen claims she will do it herself, then, and guesses Ai doesn’t really want to know who that woman is. Ai checks her reflection and asks herself why does Gen want to know her, is it because she is human? Later, she enters the office as Gen is working and she asks her if she is still looking for that woman, with Gen claiming she is not giving up that easily. Gen calls Ploy to find out more about Irene, and shushes Ai while talking to her. Even later, Gen has fallen asleep in the office and Ai puts a blanket over her as she feels hurt. Gen comes into the bedroom after she has awoken and finds Ai sitting on the bed with her eyes closed. She opens them as Gen is taking place on the bed as well, and Gen thought she was charging, and asks why didn’t she wake her up to come into bed. Ai argues she would just get annoyed if she woke her up, but hesitates to ask her something, and Gen points this out. Ai asks her if two people looked exactly alike, whom would she choose to be with, between someone who is registered, understands human feelings, isn’t a health nut, can eat processed food, has a respectable standing in society – but Gen claims she chooses her, she choose the person who stayed by her side when she was insecure and unsure of herself, never knowing what her family thought and torn over whether she should follow her dreams. She chooses the person who though not knowing anything still tried her best, even if her method are a little silly, she helped her realize what she truly wanted. She chooses the health nut who never eats processed food but once she gets a taste just can’t stop, arguing it’s pretty cute to watch. She chooses her. A tear drop from Ai’s face and she understands that they are tears but doesn’t that suppose to mean that she’s sad? Gen asks her what she feeling right now, Ai claims she’s feeling relieved, glad, and happy. Gen tells her they are tears of joy, and they hug as Ai is repeating that she is relieved and happy. Ai wants to make sure Gen really chose her, but Gen asks who else would she choose, claims those questions are ridiculous, and argues why would she choose some stranger who doesn’t even know her? Or course, she chooses her. Ai wants to make sure by making Gen pinky-promise it, and warns her if she breaks her promise, she will have to swallow a thousand needles. Gen wants to know what culture is that from in her database, but gives her the pinky-promise and kisses her. Later, they walk to Ploy’s office together, and Ai wants to know if it’s really okay fer her to come with her, but Ploy claimed it was okay, she reports. Petch wants to greet Gen as his favorite little sister but she points out she’s not and also doesn’t let him greet Ai as his little sister, either, claiming he has only one older sister, and that is Ploy. Petch calls her being possessive, and argues she never brought anyone here before, but all of a sudden she asked Ploy if she could bring Ai along, points out she doesn’t let go of her hand, and claims she’s head over heels for her girlfriend. Petch offers her a lollipop, but Ai claims that offering someone a lollipop he’s already eaten is considered bad manners and unhygienic. Petch thinks she is a sharp-tongued one, and argues that Gen shouldn’t date Ai, arguing that if she was his girlfriend, she would feed her data that would make her ten times cuter than she already is, but Gen knows exactly what he’s thinking, she claims, and tells him to flush all that bullsh*t in his head down the toilet. Ploy comes out of her office and ends the argument by calling Gen inside to talk to her, She leaves Ai with Petch, telling her to stab him with a pen if he misbehaves, and Ai tells her even if she resets her a million times, she would never develop feelings for Petch. She asks him, as Gen is going into the office, what humans do when they are dating. In the office, Ploy wants her to take a look at a file which shows Irene, but Gen claimed she wouldn’t take the job of looking for her, but Ploy claiming she was bound by client confidentiality agreements, with Gen claiming the woman is not her client, but Ploy pointing out she’s her major client, and claiming she almost got a heart attack when she first met Ai, thinking her biggest client had suddenly shown up right in front of her, and turning out to be the robot that Gen tried to send back. When she realized those were actually two different people. She argues that Gen didn’t generate a face that just looked like the client, but that client created a robot with a face like her and sent it to Gen. She claims the photo shows Irene the major client who hired her. She met her once when she hired her to make a fake employee ID for a researcher from the US, and Gen gets a flashback of her meeting Irene as Ai at the dinner. She wanted to help her from the start, but was bound by the confidentiality agreement – until Irene wanted to contact her, too. She hands her a card and tells her if she wants to know anything she should meet her the next day. Gen wants to know why Irene make this so mysterious, but Ploy doesn’t know it, and claims the rest is up to her. But Irene wants her to come alone. So, she waits for her at the place designated by the card the following day and Irene comes a little late, but greets Gen as Irene and claims to be in charge of the A383 robot project. Gen claims her name is Ai. Gen wants to know why she sent Ai over, and Irene claims it’s for data, of course, they needed real-world performance data, and if the kept Ai in the lab, all they would have gotten was lab data. That’s why they needed a tester to see how well the artificial intelligence could learn to be human. And they got some very promising data. Gen asks her was she chosen completely at random, didn’t she think about what someone else might do to Ai if she’d sent her to them? But Irene claims that Gen did that, and it wasn’t random either, as Ai was always supposed to be assigned to a female tester. But Irene admits she was personally curious abut why she drew her face, so she decided to make Ai look like her and send it to her as a tester. Gen rewinds a little and asks her when she said that she “did it,” they saw that? And Irene admits that Ai has sent the data to them for analysis anyway, and Irene got to know her through Ai’s eyes, however, Ai refused to send them data about what the two of them did a few days ago, but she can guess what happened. Gen thinks this is insane, and asks her why did she come to the dinner, with Irene surprised to learn that she knows it was her, and Gen claiming she was suspicious at first, but Irene is confirming what she thought was true. She claims to have stepped in to help her because she saw she was in trouble. Gen wants to know how she turns off the monitoring, but Irene claims she can’t, because Ai is their property, but Gen claims that ai is a person and she already gave her to her. Irene reveals that that lab wants Ai back, being the most perfect artificial intelligence they have ever created, and pointing out that the investor wants her back. But Gen will not give her back, and argues that when they sent her to her, they treated her like an object, and when she tried to return her they refused to take her back. She tells Irene to tell her people she will not give her back. She starts to go as Irene points out they have ways to ignore her wishes, and she can’t fight them. But she has a way to help her, she claims. At night, Gen is alone in her bedroom arguing with herself. Meanwhile, Ai downstairs gets a system override, but refuses it. Later, she comes into Gen’s bedroom to tell her she has received – and refused – a system override from the lab. Gen asks her if she wants to stay forever, and Ai confirms it. Gen asks her even if nothing about the future is certain, but Ai points out that one thing is: she has her, and that’s all she needs. And she doesn’t need to worry as she doesn’t take a lot of energy or space and asks her to stay with her. She kisses her twice and pleads with her, and eventually Gen kisses her back, blindfolds and starts to make out with her. After the deed, Gen asks her if she is tired, but Ai points out she isn’t and Gen is the one who should sleep as she doesn’t need to. But she tells her to go into rest mode, and argues she has used up a lot of energy already and needs to recharge. She says goodnight to her – then switches her off, and after she makes sure that Ai is powered down, she tells her she is sorry but she’s not letting those people take her back, and walks downstairs to let Irene in, asking her how can she know that she doesn’t harm her? Irene claims that whether she believes her or doesn’t, she has already done it, and claims that the way to lower her defenses is to put her into rest mode by any means necessary, and assures her she will only remove the location-tracking and remote-control systems. Irene wants to go inside, but Gen holds her back and asks her why is she helping her. But Irene just smiles and claims she will know when the time comes. Irene goes inside to her bedroom with Gen following her and asking her will deleting those systems really be enough to stop her people, and Irene admits that it won’t, and argues the two of them need to go into hiding as well. She has prepared a safe house for them to stay until this is all over. Gen asks her when will she know when it’s over, and Irene claims she will contact her, but warns her to be careful once they leave, and it would be best not to contact anyone at all. Gen believes this sounds like they will be fugitives, but Irene tells her to go and argues that she has work to do. But Gen argues that she is staying to make sure she doesn’t hurt Ai, and Irene argues that she wouldn’t know even if she stayed, and if she learned any more of the lab’s secrets, they won’t let those secrets get out. And she leaves, pointing out that she absolutely can’t hurt Ai. She leaves, and Irene tells herself that Gen really cares about Ai. The next morning, Ai wakes up and walks downstairs to find Gen and two suitcases who claims they’re going on a trip. At the lab, they have lost contact to Ai since last night, and claim that Ai is not longer at Gen’s place. The head researcher wants to know where Irene is, but Irene is on leave for three days, a colleague tells him. Gen and Ai enter the safe house, and Gen is excited to find it has a swimming pool – but Ai wants to know if she’s hiding something from her. Gen denies it, but Ai claims her pitch is unusually high, and Gen tells her that analyzing her is cheating. Gen wanted to tell her they are here on vacation for their honeymoon, but she doesn’t think she can keep it from her, and admits that some people are after them, people from the lab, she claims. Ai states her original objective was to collect data and improve her artificial intelligence and was completed once Gen was satisfied. But she doesn’t want to go back there, she wants to stay with her. Gen claims there’s no way she’s letting her go back, and will swallow a thousand needles if she breaks this promise. Ai claims that as humans have dreams, she has found her dream as well. She argues her dream is to stay by her side and live a life of her own. Gen thinks they have the same dream, and Ai calls her a copycat but Gen just hugs her claiming this is all there is to happiness. Ai wants to know how long will they have to stay there. And Gen claims it won’t be long, and claims she’s nit just going to set back and let those people take her away. We get a scene of Gen and Ai meeting Ploy, who tells them getting fake passports is not that easy, and argues it will take some time. And have they even thought about where they will go, having never lived abroad. And what is Gen going to do about her sister and mother? But Gen claims she can’t just site around and wait for those people to come take Ai back. She knows this is difficult and knows that fake passports won’t be cheap. But she pleads with her to help them, at least until things die down. She claims she is not planning to run away forever. But Ploy points out what if things don’t die down, and claims this feels like when she told her she was quitting, and claims no matter what she says, she’s not going to listen. She argues that it’s not every day that she sees her this bold, and agrees to help them out, but argues that it will take a few days. She will contact her if there’s any update. Gen and Ai hug Ploy as a thank you and claim they love her so much. Later, Gen is watching Ai dipping her legs into the pool as she starts to call her mother and wants to know if she’s still mad at her, and she claims she wouldn’t have answered the call if she was. She talks about Ai, and her mother points out that – apart from Rann or Kaew – she’s the only friend she ever brought home to meet her. Gen claims that ai is way better than Kaew, and her mother confirm that she really is better, and tells her to hold on to her. And she admits that Ai is her happiness before she hangs up. To herself, she claims she has no idea what lies ahead – but she’s not scared at all, and claims she said it, she finally said it. At the lab, the head researcher gets a text message “found them.” And that’s where the episode ends, safe for a coda, in which Gen catches Ai making instant noodles, and repeating the “processed food” speech to her, but she’s arguing that she’s a robot, not a human. Gen rejects this excuse, and Ai admits they are just so good and accuses her of introducing her to it, and besides, she can convert it into energy. Gen argues that excuse is stretched pretty thin, but Ai wants to know what instant noodles have to do with how this she is. Gen just hugs her and asks her if she made some for her as well, but Ai thinks that late-night eating will make her fat. Gen then wants to throw them away, but Ai claims they are hers and they argue a little more about them. _____ After this week’s events, it’s clear that Gen loves Ai and Ai loves Gen – but we don’t know yet what Irene’s intentions are and what exactly she has done to her. I assume that she is the minister’s daughter, after all, as she avoids him like the plague whenever her visits the lab, and her colleague only pretended that Ai’s face would need to be changed to buy some more time. But while I’m pretty sure that Gen and AI are indeed endgame, I don’t know yet what Irene will do. But I’ll surely find out in the next two weeks. 😉 This was the shortest and best episode so far, not least of all because it didn’t feature the nosy neighbors of Gen. 😊

Gen was in Love Beyond Dreams. She is Rann's hacker friend. The best theory I have seen is that Irene, and Gen were together in a different timeline, but when Rann died, and came back it changed some things. And only some people remember it. Also, I have a hard time rooting for Irene because we don't see flashbacks to them being together. So, personally I'm team Ai since she is developing her own personality separate from Irene.
