The AI is strange

As soon as I got back to work at Monday, Jack walked at me with a neutral expression, but after two weeks of working with him, I could differentiate between his normal neutral face, his annoyed face and his tired face. This expression was never to see in his neutral face mimic before, so I tilt my head and look confused to him.
„What is going on?"
„The AI is working."
His tone was higher as usual and his eyes glittered so that must mean he is happy, right?
„That's...good, right?"
„That is fantastic that it works...but how? We weren't with them on the whole weekend..."
„Maybe they needed time to understand?"
„No, Ginger doesn't do that...they weren't programmed to function till someone was in their reach or next to them..."

Jake turned away, probably going back to the room so I quickly followed him. Despite working for half a month here, I still don't know my way to the workplace. Crystal often helps me out when I accidentally ran into her office so I'm glad today isn't like this. Jake opened the room and I saw what gemeint. Ginger was smiling and they were sounding happier as well.
„Good morning assistant Jake and assistant Y/N! How is your day doing?"
An intro message? Really? But Jake didn't program that...and now I realized that he wasn't happy. His pupils might be glittering, but not from joy. It's fear. He feared that he did something wrong...His hands started to fiddle around as he looks to his desk.
„Ginger is not supposed to work like that..."
He muttered to himself as he goes over the plans of their program.

I walked up to them and smiled. Maybe it had something to do with my soul? But not everything is thanks to my soul.
„Hey Ginger? Please tell me a healthy way for a diet."
Gingers eyes scanned me again and it took a while before they responded.
„Oh my! Your eating habits are a complete mess! Are you allowing me to help you?"
„Yes...?"
Ginger blinked and smiled down at me, but it was a rather creepy smile like it's forced...
„A good way to start is to think what your body needs! Give it nutritions, rest and a good sleeping pattern. Make sure to start small so you can get used to the changes over the weeks!"
I looked to Jake who was to concentrated in his codings.

Ginger really doesn't sound and acts the same. Their voice sounded a bit more robotic and not so smooth as it should. They also are not doing their coded thing...maybe my soul did change it?
„But do not worry if you can't do it! Take it easy and don't feel disappointed if nothing is working out! Just go at your own pace and learn to accept that you are not them. You are you and that matters."
„That...that was actually great Ginger. Thank you."
„You are welcome assistant Y/N!"
I was confused on why they act so...out of place. This really isn't the same Ginger me and Jake worked with from last Friday. Something happened. Just what? I sighed and walked up to Jake.
„You are right...it's different from their usual AI..."
He looked up at me and than back to his computer as he goes over the code.

„I don't understand how that happened...but the coding is wrong! It should not work...it shouldn't..."
I looked at the computer as well and saw what he meant. The binary code has letters. Shit. It is the problem of my soul than. It effects the coding...fuck...and here I thought I could have a normal day of work. But since Jake doesn't know about the problem and why it still works, I looked over to him again and asked in a confused tone.
„Isn't that normal for an AI code?"
„So you also never saw this before?"
Never before is such a hard word. I mean I never saw Gingers AI like this so...
„I see it the first time here with Ginger...Their coding isn't supposed to be like this?"
Jake looked at my confused in his own way as if he didn't understood the question. Maybe I should rephrase it?

„So the code isn't normal..."
„Yes it isn't. It was supposed to be different and not it isn't."
He sounded upset...a lot actually as he looked to Ginger.
„Something happened and I don't know why."
I don't know how hard it must be to code an AI, but surely it isn't easy to do and to finish without any mistakes. Considering that Jake is a perfectionist, he must have spent days alone to make Ginger perfect...or to find the mistakes alone.
„Isn't it fine as long as they still work?"
Jake shook his head and was not in the mood for kind words. He looks like he is about to punch Ginger just for being different now. I know that Ginger can't feel...yet...but I couldn't leave Jake with them alone. Not if he looks so unstable.
