Long-detached from human contact, an artificial intelligence suddenly encounters one of its creators. Can the active simulation handle the shock?

If left to its own devices, could artificial intelligence give meaning to its own existence without endlessly repeating the behaviors that formed it? Behaviors which, divorced from their human context, are completely stripped of meaning? Not the one in Poly Mesh, certainly, lost forever in an infinite loop. The return of a destabilizing factor (you, a human) would trigger a new routine whicH w0u1d rǝsu1t, 0n vǝR10us L3ve1s, ¡N hûṃǝn-m#ḉḧ¡n∑ Harm0niɛ [error 0x0000c]
