Ok I may be looking into this a bit too much or someone may have already said it. Anyway it deals with forerunner human connections. I was reading through First Strike again (around pg 170) and that was the part where Cortana finds the Ascendant Justice's ship AI. Anyway on one of the lines she talks about how farmiliar the AI seemed to her. Well as we all know the covies imitate the do not make there own technology. This would include AI's as well, but from reading the books we know that Cortana was made from "copying" brain patterns and things like that from Dr. Hasley. This is how all AI's are made I believe. So to make an actual point since the AI was probably imitated from a Forerunner AI and assuming that they used the same techniques to make AI(which may be a bad assumption) the Forerunners brains were more than likely very similar to humans. Not saying the same but close in some areas. /end rant

Anyway tell me what you think. And Happy Bungie Day

I feel it's not the Forerunner's AI. I think Ackerson sold out like a punk and either gave, or sold the Covenent a human AI. The covenant then copied the AI over and over, kinda like Cortana did and got all messed up, she said something about the AI being like her, but not right, we got ourselves a conspiracy.

I never thought about it that way. The only problem with that is that the covies would never use human technology, they consider it heresy. Remember the jackal that fought with his bare hands even though an AR was laying right beside him.
