Those AIs are correct. English is a danged inefficient language for basic concepts.

I don't mind the creation of a new language, but I'm not keen on that level of autonomy is implies.

Any fans of the book and movie "Colossus" here? The American defense computer Colossus and its Russian counterpart starting communicating with each other using mathematical symbols. Not long after that, the two computers merged and took over the world. Fortunately for humanity, the Colossus AI wasn't as deranged as Skynet.

I am. I recommend it to a lot of young people. If Skynet made you nervous with its hostility, this thing is terrifying because it is so.... benevolent. It was going to mother us, or kill us. It didn't care.

But let us not forget the WOPR from War Games. "Shall we play a game?"

This one cared. Even as a kid I had reservations about Kirk smashing up the computer for the residents' own good. He couldn't have tried reasoning with it??

Kirk: Everything Harry Mudd says is a lie.

Harry: I'm lying

He disabled Landru with logic so you have a good point. Maybe he'd been without an alien woman for a while and was cranky

[Coolwater]

Heh heh!
