“You love your mother.” Madoka had not quite made it into a question, to be safe. “Yes,” says Mireille. “It’s not that simple, but yes.” “You see,” Madoka says, “that is something a robot can’t do. A robot can’t say yes in the way you just said it. You could ask one of my PEPPERs if it loved, and it could run a computation, as you did, and decide to answer yes based on certain evaluations, as you did. But it would just be yes, in the end. It wouldn’t be a sad yes.”
