Nobody's making you post here. And all I'm doing is applying logical rebuttals to your arguments.

That bit on expense's valid - shoulda read that section more closely. There's no reason why the Black Void couldn't just be purchasing AI-Gs - and the fact that they are using AI-Gs rather than the more capable & cheaper AI-Ds could be because they are purchasing them rather than making their...

I'm not really actually upset about anything. I just wanted to have a discussion on it. I mean, I do somewhat feel that it'd be slightly better if it didn't specify Asimov's laws, but I'll probably have forgotten about this within a few days. Also, the game doesn't actually allow for you to...

That's valid, but my point about the multiple automated turret systems which appear as enemies still stands. AFAIK, Watson's also an AI-G. AI-D's are ridiculously expensive to create - there just aren't any criminal organizations who can develop their own.

Your starter ship has two turrets. You are one person. Moreover, there are multiple turret-based automated security systems that the player encounters. If you have a task that a superhuman AI would be good at, you'd need to give it information somehow. You could vet the data you provide, but...

Asimov's three laws are specifically stated as what is used to limit AI.

Someone being a writer does not mean that they are incapable of making mistakes.

Except the three laws would instantly fail if applied to a superhuman AI. Olympia's also an AI-G, who don't have the three laws implemented at all.

The laws, for an AI, would be their most core wants. Making the AI "not want to abuse the loophole" is literally the same exact problem as making rules with no flaws. The laws are so flawed that trying to make a superhuman AI with them would cause instant failure upon turning it on. Also...

And then the AI-in-training determines that the best way to guarantee its success is to make everything acceptable to the person it's paired with. That also still doesn't fix the issue of the laws being too restrictive to allow a superhuman AI to do most jobs.

We don't have any examples of any AI in TiTS that break the three laws. Moreover, that's a false analogy; an AI actually breaking the laws would be like a human deciding that they no longer require food - physically impossible. AI-D also cannot be "happy" to do anything, as they do not possess...

I know the difference between an alghorithm and an AI. ...Have you not read the codex entry that I quoted in the first post? It expressly states that AI-D are superhuman. In order to have been closing loopholes for a year it'd have to already know what is and isn't a loophole. AI's not...

Yes, I can get that much from a Google Search.

I...don't know why you said this. Nothing here is in any way a critique of Asimov’s writing. I'm asking why the governing body in TiTS has decided to implement a set of laws which were designed to be flawed.

1) If that's the case, it should probably be somewhere in the codex entry. 2) That does not solve the problem or even make it easier. In order for this AI to be patching loopholes, it would need to know what was and wasn't a loophole, which would require you to provide it an already-perfected...

I have no idea what you mean by this.

I'm not sure why you bring up a metafiction perspective. My observation was on in-universe issues. If they were just like the laws we know, then AI-Ds would never function. They are stated to be of superhuman intellect, so the moment any of them were turned on, they would promptly begin a...

Ship AIs would fall into the category of VIs. And, to quote my reply to someone else:

The only mention of this is a single line in the codex entry. It could be easily replaced with something along the lines of "Each model also has custom restrictions built into it to allow it to perform the job it was designed for with minimal risk of an AI uprising". Rereading this, I feel...

The flaws in the laws would be incredibly obvious to anyone from the programmers who'd have to implement them to the corporate executives interested in their bottom line - who'd want their expensive accountant-bot funneling funds into hospitals galaxy-wide because they cannot let a human come to...
