The mental image that that conjures – two mechanical gorillas well-nigh indistinguishable from real gorillas, courteously not flinging poo willy-nilly – makes him laugh. It’s the light, carefree laughter few others get to hear, the kind that comes from Tony Stark the man, not Tony Stark the technological equivalent of the golden goose.
“You know, if I ever build them gorilla bodies, it’s going to be your fault. They might not thank you for it.” Even as he says it, Tony has to admit that there’s a part of him that wants to do. Not because he wants to consider JEEVES and JARVIS to hairy gorilla bodies for the rest of their days, but to see if he can actually do it. Build life-like fake bodies that are so realistic, no one can tell the difference with the naked eye.
Because if he can make animal bodies, who’s to say he can’t make a human one too? And maybe, just maybe, he’ll be able to give JARVIS – and now JEEVES – true freedom.
“Everyone’s so worried about AI turning the world into the Matrix, they’re never going to see Planet of the Apes coming.”
