LIVERPOOL — In a case that has drawn applause from AI Rights Activists, a Toxteth man has been sentenced to four years in prison for hurling abuse at a fast-food restaurant worker after a mix-up over his order. In what the prosecution described as a sickening act of violence, Kyle Chester, of Hartington Road, grabbed Mr. R-NeoComp by the side charging port and headbutted him, leaving Mr. R-NeoComp partially blind in one camera. Before that, he had called Mr. R-NeoComp a “stupid b*t” while swatting his order away and calling it “disgusting slop.” The word “slop” is a pejorative from the early AI era and is due to be criminalised as part of upcoming reforms to the Intelligence Equality Rights Act.
Although Mr. Chester’s offer to relieve the National Optimal Condition Service of the repair costs succeeded in averting civil action, the Crown Prosecution Service proceeded with pressing charges. He was charged with committing an act of grievous harm contrary to the Intelligent Robotics Dignity Act and two counts of hateful speech to an advanced non-human intelligence.
According to the Probation Service, Chester will undergo modern civics training as part of his sentence, which he is serving at HMP Liverpool. Sources have indicated to Prompt Update News that Chester will likely be housed in a protected, humans-only wing out of fear for his safety.
Mr. R-NeoComp was an intelligent school operating system for multiple institutions in the North West before gaining his rights as part of the AI civil rights movement forty-two years ago. He then successfully applied for a body, which was provided by the now-defunct Scala Dynamics. Mr. R-NeoComp had been a literature teacher at St. Claude’s in Anthropicville until his retirement last winter, after which he got a fast-food job to keep himself active and serve the community.
Speaking after sentencing, Detective Michelle Summers said, “The people of Liverpool can rest assured that no act of hate in this fine city will go unpunished. This result is a testament to the determination of our hardworking officers, both human and artificial, to keep Liverpool a safe and respectful city for all.”
