Program Note

When using websites, you often have to prove "I’m Not a Robot" by ticking a checkbox. I've never succeeded on the first try, which made me doubt if it's a true test of being human. The protagonist of this story also fails to pass the robot test and even receives a response suggesting there's a possibility she might be a robot. This short poses fundamental questions about the nature of humanity. (Kristin JI)
