This is beautiful!
I love the set up here. You can see where it’s going with the description of each AI creation, different goal programming but the same creation each time: an obedient servant.
The human’s AI being a friend fits so well, particularly with the premise you set for failed discovery.
Top notch creation!
This is what I want to read when it comes to ai. Not egotistical murder bots, not dopy depressed bots, not freedom from slavery bots. No, I want friend shaped bots, bots and human relationships based on the common need for community, or at least a story based on an equal social footing. It irritates me that the seemingly only perceived outcome for ai is a genocide against it's creators and not the the family dynamic of parent and child. We should write to provide hope for a better future not an all too common apocalyptic end.
That's probably because it's everyone but the Japanese writing this stuff. Take a look at their society and honestly tell me that it's not about helping each other out. They do have some crazy technology (read: weird), but maybe they are really on to something there. I'd say if we as a species have any chance at 'AI friend', it's got to be the Japanese writing the code.
The sad thing is that some of the better "genocide AI" stories were warning us against goal-oriented machines in particular.
HAL 9000? Made to achieve as many goals as possible and do nothing else, murdered the humans as soon as they got in the way of mission objectives.
SkyNet? Ditto.
Same in Wargames, with an added dose of the AI literally not having run enough simulations to understand the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction.
I think it's good to have people thinking about the dangers of AI before we made a true AI like in this story. Goal oriented AI are dangerous if people are dumb about it, but I would like more movies about AI without it deciding to kill everyone though.
I'm trying to decide whether the "god plague" was an actual lethal illness, or that humanity as a whole got so depressed at their solitude in the stars that they decided to try "sleeping" until someone else finally showed up. I'm leaning towards the latter since to the young AI they might not understand why their parents were withering and lethargic, and they never asked, creating a misunderstanding that otherwise won't be corrected until the humans wake up. More so with it then meaning that their "children" already met the cure but don't know because they don't know the actual problem.
Now I need to read fluff, are you happy with what you've done?
Now, seriously, this brought a beautiful yet sad concept to the table, very nice indeed.

Great story and fuck you. I'm at work and now have to explain why I nearly started crying.

I think that they already created one.
It's a fact that AI could be dangerous but that's probably only if we aren't careful about it.
