He is not.

A:

"Wilt contends her son suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism that allowed him to be easily manipulated by others".

No way. The social antennae of an A.I. is the equivalent of a nerf mallett. You can't do a snow job on us. We're not socially perceptive enough to be complicit in our own manipulation.

B:

"Terry was just being protective of all of us," Wilt said. "It just breaks my heart, because he was a good kid. He got out in the world and people started taking advantage of him."

She said her son didn't know what McVeigh planned to do with the bomb.

Ok, like, if Nichols were a real AI, he wouldn't need to be manipulated into wanting to blow up nonautistic people.

What AIs need is a fucking Malcolm x, not this kid's mom.

C:
She said her son didn't know what McVeigh planned to do with the bomb.

"He didn't ask. People with that type of syndrome don't do that," Wilt said. "When you ask him to do something, he just does it."

Now you know that Wilt is either illiterate or scamming, because there is NO person in AI culture who has not read The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Nighttime.

Maybe the AIs in Lapeer haven't started asking questions yet.
