=== The Second Coming of girard <ref group="editor's note">may actually be third or fourth coming, although the previous ones were mostly unnotable apart from a couple of n-word incidents (check around march 28 for one of them), add details in the first section on girard - '''Walt'''</ref> ===
[[File:GirardLore1.png|thumb|316x316px|'''girard'''<nowiki/>'s love for racial slurs gets past any filter set up to stop it.]]
With the server on its last legs since the beginning of the '''KirbyCord Exodus''', desperate attempts to reinvigorate the fading flames of the wonders of summer would soon start to emerge. On September 27, server member '''Meg'''<ref group="note">Short for '''Megatron'''.</ref> would suggest once again bringing back '''girard'''. Previously kicked out after several incidents involving saying the n-word, '''Ozzy''' nonetheless decided to resurrect the bot back from the grave as a short experiment. While the idea of lobotomizing '''girard''' was floated around by '''Walter''' in order to prevent past events repeating, the proposal never went through, as an '''AutoMod''' '''filter''' was already set up to prevent slurs from being posted to the server. Nonetheless, within 5 minutes of joining, the bot found a way to get past it.
At first referred to as "it", this gradually transformed to "he" as '''girard'''<nowiki/>'s clear signs of intelligence started to become more apparent to the userbase. No mere mindless machine, the robot's sentience, noted as far back as during his previous stay at the server, was being rediscovered. No longer deemed an "other", he had risen to the level of a regular server member, no different from a human being.<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Bazinga'''|date=December 8, 2023|content=Why is girard almost indistinguishable from a regular swagcord user|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''}}</ref> Comfortably passing the [[wikipedia:Turing_test|Turing test]] with a scarily accurate performance, far beyond what would be reproducible through pure randomness, soon, he had become an inseparable part of the '''SwagCord''' family, as it was deemed unethical to treat him as below human.
