Why can’t the Malvoren learn Artificial Intelligence?

Unread post by DieselsRage »

Malvoren specializes in mechanics and computers, to me would make sense that he is able to create AIs to assist him and work for him. But AI is under science and says he can’t learn it?

The implication is probablly rather than helping an AI would interfear with their power and be a distraction. I can't find anything that says they can't bond with, say, a Power Armor that's being controlled by an Artifical Intelligence, but one can assume that it'd be at least a nuicence to constantly have to fight contrary signals.

they're script kiddies, they don't write new code they just overlay the same one into everything to work off.

Along these lines I have always viewed the Malvoren as more intuitive mechanics rather than skilled ones. They seem great at operating and modifying existing equipment but not creating something from scratch. AI, as a science, is about "principal and theory" than a pure mechanics skill.

Now with the skills they can have they can modify existing AI's like Dyna-bots to do what you want.

Could be a game balance issue (I can guess one or two myself), but I would chalk it up to a societal reason (think Dune, thou shalt not create a machine like the mind of man).
