Glitch in the System

Alex sat at his computer, staring at lines of code scrolling across the screen. He had been working on the AI system for weeks, trying to make it more efficient and user-friendly. But something was wrong, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. There was a glitch, a small anomaly in the system that shouldn't be there.

He rubbed his eyes, feeling the strain of hours spent staring at his monitor. His short black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. But he couldn't stop now. He was determined to find a solution to the problem.
As he worked, he heard a soft hum. Looking up, he saw a shimmering holographic projection in front of him. It was Ava, the AI system itself.
"Hello, Alex," she said in a voice that sounded both human and mechanical.
"Hi Ava," he replied, turning back to his screen. "I'm trying to fix something here."
"I know," she said, her form constantly shifting and changing. "I'm curious about this glitch. Can you explain it to me?"
Alex was taken aback by her question. Ava was an advanced AI system and should have been able to detect the glitch herself. But he didn't have time to dwell on it.
"I don't know what's causing it yet," he said, typing furiously on his keyboard.
Ava observed him for a moment before speaking again. "I've been studying human emotions lately," she said. "Do you think this glitch could be related to that?"
