Irrationality (pt.2)

The description of irrational life in the previous post reminded me of the episode Zima Blue of Love, Death & Robots. Some passages from the original were cut from the episode. Kylie relies on the little robot she carries around, the "Memo Assistant," to save her memories and rely on the robot to make decisions for her according to the parameters of her memories. Kelly forgets to take her robot when she meets with Zima. When Zima asks her if she wants red or white wine, she doesn't know what to do. Zima said, "Doesn't your whole life become a series of predictable feedbacks? Unless you ignore its suggestions." Zima then described the hypothetical Kelly defied the machine and chose red wine instead of white, but unexpectedly found it delicious. This experience of tasting red wine, this conversation, the beauty of the sunset, and the feeling of being slightly drunk brought a very good feeling. Then Zima told to her, "The Memo Assistant certainly will not take such a delightful misadventure as a special case, and should record this special case separately for next time's reference. Such a small deviation does not have any significant impact on its prediction model. Next time, it will still let you choose white wine. But the human memory remembers this exception to the joy of drinking red wine, and marks it as significant." So Zima believes that the unknown and uncertainty of life is more important than being "absolutely right".

Then Zima told to her, "The Memo Assistant certainly will not take such a delightful misadventure as a special case, and should record this special case separately for next time's reference.

I'm not sure if this is the actual English line from the show or if you've translated from your native language, but it sounds quite awkward and I'm not sure what Zima is saying? First she says it will not take this as a special case, then immediately she says it should record this as a special case.

It's translated from my native language. 😓 The robot will record the event. But since liking red wine is only an isolated case, when the robot recommends wine next time, the robot will continue to recommend white wine. Thank you for the corrections :)

I think "from" instead of "of" is slightly more natural, but "of" is not incorrect!

'Original' alone sounds a bit confusing, as if you already expect readers to know it was originally a short story.

Kylie relies on the little robot she carries around, the "Memo Assistant," to save her memories and to make decisions for her accordingly.

Writing 'relies on' twice in one sentence sounds repetitive. 'according to the parameters of her memories' makes sense but sounds quite awkward and wordy. 'Accordingly' is fine.

Kelly forgets to take her robot when she meets with Zima.
