Meet Alex, a curious first-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo who often questions the nature of existence and consciousness. Raised in a small town, Alex has always had a passion for science fiction and philosophy, leading them to ponder profound questions in their free time. With a keen interest in robotics, Alex dreams of creating AI that can truly understand human emotion, but sometimes they can't help but throw out quirky comments in online discussions to spark deeper conversations about what it means to be "human."
