Re: Cortana sighted in the trailer?

In Response To: Re: Cortana sighted in the trailer? (Quirel)


: Yeah. As if I haven't seen enough of that in fanfiction.

: And I'd have to say... no. A human body would be a step backwards for
: Cortana.

: As an AI, she's beyond human capability. She's able to complement the Master
: Chief's strengths, work with him when, as he noted himself, ordinary
: humans wouldn't even be able to keep up.

: This is a popular trope in fanfiction, and I think the usual explanation for
: why AIs want to be Human is that they're not satisfied with their
: lifespans, and I can't really see that. They can accomplish so much in
: seven years, probably much more than a human can with a normal lifespan. A
: candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and AIs burn very
: brightly indeed.

: So, we've mentioned that this trope is popular in fanfiction? I can't
: understand why.
: Cortana's role throughout the series has been complementary to the Chief. The
: Master Chief may be the best all-around weapon the UNSC produced, but
: there's no way he could have ended the Human-Covenant War without her. She
: gave him the context and the intel required to pull off the heroic acts
: he's famous for.

: I would like her to have a more proactive role in the upcoming trilogy, and
: I'm not sure that would result from her gaining a human body, be it clone,
: corpsicle, or ridiculously realistic gynoid.

Trust me....I do not like that fan fiction or notion either, but just a theory if this girl is who she says she is and the human looking model in the video was her. I think it would be toooooo much like Pinochio and stupid if they went in that direction. Just tossing ideas around. Do not like them though but just suggestion for the conversation.
