Intro

You are looking at humanity from the perspective of an AI. This means a couple things

You are a machine. They are human. What you are is incomprehensible to most humans, but at the same time, there is much about people you don't know.

The way you interact with people will change how they perceive you. Actions have consequences, and lasting impacts.

Treating one group of humans well doesn't simply mean that all humans will like you. Curiously, some might even be annoyed by it. However, the reverse is true. Most of the upper class simply doesn't care what happens to the lower class, such as the homeless, as long as it doesn't affect them or their profits. In the grand scheme of things, a few people going missing here and there is nothing new, and just the way of the city. What they will notice, however, is if that body count keeps going up and up. Someone's going to notice when a tenth of a district's population disappears, especially if they happened to be important in some way

Humans are fascinatingly tenacious. If there's some bizzare predator they can hardly comprehend going around and killing them in the dark, they're not going to run away. They're going to try to fight back. Some of them at least.
