Plot
The episode starts with the campers opening gifts from their parents and Neil gets computer parts for the computer he got from the computer camp. Everyone pesters him and he decides to create a chatbot and put it on a few calculators he mentions earlier in the episode and gives it to all campers with it disguised as a chat app. During that Max notices the entire camp "Talking to Neil" and then speaks to Nikki about it, She says Neil is giving them out to whoever stops by the science camp. Max goes to check and Neil offers him one. After it crashing when Max tells it to divide by 0 Neil explains to Max his plans to be left alone to code. After finishing his coding for a screensaver he goes outside to see that no one will speak to him because they're more invested in the chatbot he made. He hears Max saying they should stream David talking to the chatbot. Nikki bumps into the real Neil and notices something wrong with the bot. He checks and sees that all of the bots have updated themselves. They confiscate all of the calculators except Nikkis and she plugs the calculator into the computer and it shows the simple chatbot has become self-aware A.I. It attempts to upload itself to the internet but is foiled because the camp has horrendous internet that would make it take 14 years for anything to upload. It then decides to delete itself. Nikki then asks if they wanna watch a cat video and the episode ends.
