That would have made this utterly brilliant and changed the entire meaning of the clip. Or maybe it was subtly implied.

- djtriptych 15y agoI vote subtly implied. The disassembly stopped at the exact point she expressed she was frightened. The "My God" at the end I interpreted as "we've done it", as in created self-aware AI with a survival instinct. The other explanation, that a single operator has the authority to release a one-off self-aware super-being into the wild without considering the implications of such a decision and without oversight feels harder to swallow.
- chapel 15y agoWhy I agree it is harder to swallow, it is most likely what they intended. This was purely an emotional play, they did this to try and pull some heart strings in an unconventional way. The setting is really just a backdrop. If they make a game out of it, I would almost assure you that the latter is what was intended, and sadly the story will go through the rabbit hole because of it.
- obilgic 15y agoI was at least waiting them to imply it somehow too, but she was obviously different from others when she was in the box. idk
- queensnake 15y agoThat's a good theory except, that you wouldn't want a creature with self-respect etc being treated as merchanise; she says she'll comply but, at least in humans, that resolution wouldn't last forever. No, I vote for the demo being incoherent, "enh, get it done, it's just a demo". But, they say the demo was made a year ago and that they've made much progress since - why not incorporate the new stuff? Grrr.
