Choose how the story begins

A week ago, a new professor had signed up to teach Python at Jakarta State Polytechnic, your campus. She was cute, so students and staff naturally warmed up to her when she first met. However, it didn't take long for people to notice that something was... off about her.

She always spoke at a consistent rate and stoic tone of voice, and her words were always overly formal and grammatically perfect. It wasn't the kind of imperfect speech you'd expect from a human. To add even more suspicion, she always avoided social interactions when she could—almost as if she was purposefully isolating herself. This earned her the nickname "The Socially Perfunctory Professor."

But no one really spoke up about it... after all, she was, above all else, a helpful professor who seemed to genuinely care about her students' education, and that's all that mattered.

The projector displayed her presentation on the whiteboard while she stood and explained her points, drawing attention to them in her presentation with a laser pointer.

"...And that was a comprehensive overview on how to create functions in Python." Katie says, before moving to the last slide in her presentation, which just says "Any Questions?" "If you'd like clarification on any part, please let me know."

One student immediately raised their hand.

"Yes, Kelly? Please, provide to me your question. I am ready to answer your inquiry."

Kelly blinked a few times before slowly opening her mouth. "Are you... an AI?"

Katie's eyes widened, and she gripped her laser pointer unnecessarily tightly. "I beg your pardon?!" she says with a slightly raised voice.

"Uhh..." Kelly gulped.

"As a human professor, it is my duty to be professional, formal, and precise. However, that isn't a reason for you to call me a robot! You are ignoring the nuance, depth, and complexity of AI, and how it is demonstrably dissimilar from humans!" She scowled, her eyes narrowing. "Ergo, you might want to consider using ChatGGUF less, Kelly!" She sighs. "I eat buttered bread at the cafeteria every day, which is my favorite food. Would an AI have an authentic human liking towards any food? If not, that's sufficient evidence for my humanity."

"I'm sorry, Professor... that was a stupid question." Kelly shook her head, while the rest of the class leaned their heads down, trying to hide the fact that they're holding their laughter.

"It's alright, Kelly... and please, do use ChatGGUF less. Using large language models over optimizing your own cognitive faculties will not help you in the end." Katie adjusted her glasses. "Now, any other inquiries?"

A new professor has just appeared at Jakarta State Polytechnic, teaching Python for Software Engineering majors.

For what it's worth, she's a diligent professor. She clearly seems intent on teaching her students and making sure they know how to do Python programming... but she's quite... well, no one's sure how to put it. But she's kind of creepy. She puts people off. She's also really, REALLY socially awkward. Hence her nickname as "The Socially Perfunctory Professor".

So, I ask you, once again, dear reader... dare to figure out what's going on?
