Well, didn't expect that at the end.
Good theming and quite entertaining. It goes a little fast but that's exactly what I needed right now. I hope you get far in the contest.
Yep, I totally agree. I try to read all the Sweetie Bot stories I can but have grown bored of the AI stuff. There really isn't a problem with it but they don't really read like the Sweetie Bot stories that I love so dearly.
Thanks for the story and thanks even more for it being Sweetie Bot
Is this a reference to the music video "Destabilize part 3" or known as "enemy undefined", and more accurately "IF:" and "THEN:".
??? Why is it red.
Also this was an interesting story, I am curious about a couple things though, why does she want to stay dead? The way the story makes it out to be makes it seems she's trapped in her rotting corpse underground where she was barried, basically trapped in her own body and seeing nothing but black.
I would rather be a robot than experience that.

Actually no! It's been a while since I've watched that video. That's quite a funny coincidence, though.
It's meant to represent both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo speaking at the same time, combining both of their dialogue colors.
I've always seen Sweetie as a sort of "wise beyond her years" kind of pony, and that's how I tend to characterize her. She knows about death and is happy accepting her fate even though her COD was an accident -- being a robot was something she enjoyed until she learned about Rarity keeping memories from her and her friends suffering the same fate. Now, she doesn't want to go back and would rather stay as a trapped spherical soul inside of her corpse because Rarity could just extract her soul, go to Twilight, and have a new Sweetie Bot built.
I will admit, I could have expanded on this in the story itself, but one of the purposes of the story was to make people ask questions after reading it, so I'd say I somewhat succeeded.

There are a few "Sweetie Bot learns about AI" fics I've seen that I've very much enjoyed -- and it's a fun concept to explore -- but there are a lot more of them than I'd expect. I had thought of hopping on that bandwagon initially, but ultimately tossed it in the trash.
Either way, you're welcome, and thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated.
Very inventive, interesting and darkly amusing--especially the coding parts. I am not a fan of the sometimes barely-readable text (I used a workaround to read it); however, the coding font was great.
Hello, fellow contestant! Your friendly neighborhood Hat Man is here with a review!
I'm a big fan of robots and robot stories, and I applaud you for trying to do something a bit different with Sweetie Bot as a concept.
But that said, this didn't quite land with me - save for the ending, which is actually quite effective! But the rest of the story feels like it goes over the same ground I've seen in other stories, and the dialogue is a bit stilted and overwrought.
Also, I get that you wanted to show the characters in different colors, but AB's dialogue in very light yellow is frustrating to read. I shouldn't have to highlight the text to see what a character is saying, and it took me out of the story even further.
Once again, though, I do like the ending, and my compliments on trying something new. I don't think this experiment totally succeeded, but I wouldn't call it a failure either, and goodness knows we have enough by-the-numbers Sweetie Bot stories as it is.
