    Um, if the AI screams, how do you know it's emotionless? It sounds like it has emotions to me. Unless it's just using it for it's evolutionary purpose of calling for help?

    I think the idea of making AI more of a dark concept is very interesting. It's often used to create cold, logic-based villains or philosophical explorations of humanity, but I'd like to see something exploring uncanny valley and such. And the general freaky mysteriousness of another form of consciousness. According to someone I know, the movie Ex Machina does this. That it's about how humans could never actually understand AI because we're better at creating computers that thinking like them.

    Yes! Definitely trying to experiment with AI as a darker concept. I wanted to have a story that had really deep and creepy themes. Cosmic implications. Explore the horrors of playing God and creating life, without it getting too actiony.

    Me personally, I hate the whole "playing God" phrase. As a science-lover, a progressive and an atheist. But that sounds cool.

    Oh I'm agnostic. I just meant like creating life and such :)

    Yeah, but still. Creating life isn't inherently wrong.

    As a science-lover, a progressive, and a Christian, I completely agree with you ;)

    Pharisees trying to play God by dictating morality scare me more than parents trying to "play God" by creating new life.
