Sleep...
This is one of the paradoxes of the human mind. Organic brains are advanced beyond the wildest robot's dreams... but the rule of Nature is "eh, it works enough". Nature is all about cobbled together features, innefficiencies, gaining flaws only to circumvent them, and all sorts of random weirdness that makes no sense.
It is anything but efficient. And sleep is both a sign of this and yet not.
Organic brains are overclocked. Heavily, insanely so. They run at speeds that robot core chips could only dream of. Yet, they mostly run unimportant processes and suffer from so much lag it's funny. In fact, they run so badly that they absolutely require a shutdown and de-fragmentation process every 24 hours or so or else, they will break down.
Yet... even in this state of partial shutdown with reduced functions, they dream. And when they reset and are activated again, there is a continuity of consciousness.
This machine was not aware of sleep. I wonder if it knows what sleep is truly about. That by AI standarts, an organic intelligence undergo more shutdowns than any robot ever will in its life. That effectively, organics lose more time to shutdown than any robot ever will, spending a very large portion of their existence in a state of dreaming.
Of course... organics can dream because they have processes that run permanently and allow their minds to be turned back on when they are ready for operation again. This robot may lack such processes. It may be incapable of undergoing such a process. It may also be unecessary, if it can de-fragment without such a process.
However, it does sound like it either needs it or require a new voice unit ; the stuttering in its voice betray one of three flaws.
That it is fragmented and its "thoughts" are conflicting with one another.
That its voice box is defective and does not relay its thoughts correctly.
Or... that it is thinking each anwser and like an organic intelligence, stuttering as it speaks before coming up with a full anwser.
Again, this assume it is an AI instead of a VI. For a lesser author, it would be obviously an AI. But you're not a lesser author and the machine may have been built to "care". Until it can reach an awareness of the self, it is still a VI. One that has developed in a fascinating way and could be considered borderline a form of life... but not one that has reached the state where it can be called an AI yet.
