It'd make for a good AI test, though. Torture it first, if it doesn't suicide or go on a murder rampage release to the public, child and idiot proof!

I wouldn't give my initial test of an AI an artificial body, that comes much, much later and that body would be pretty drat weak and useless.

If the AI is baked into the hardware, it might make it very difficult to duplicate itself and very easy to kill.

You can still choose not to plug the arms and legs in for the first few tests.

In all seriousness, though, the biggest problem Paladin has faced so far has been AI's killing themselves. A sentient being trapped inside a body that doesn't work kind of sounds like the kind of thing that would make it really want to format itself!

I think maybe the real problem is that she's trying to build an AI that's fully sapient and functional right off the bat. Maybe having them go through a "childhood" to get properly socialized would work better?

Then again I'm not a professional roboticist and AI programmer :v:

Giving it some aversion to actions that will damage itself would be a good move too.

Icarus was an idiot who ignored planly outlined safety guidelines, took a device into an environment it was never designed to operate in, and promptly died when it underwent catastrophic failure.

Clearly a man whom engineers should celebrate as a hero.

No matter how wondrous a thing you create, no one will read the manual.

But seriously, realtalk, this is a problem with using long form pacing when you can only produce a couple of pages a week and have to present them to the public as soon as they're made. In other words: Webcomics.
