Subject: Is the Superintendent a 'smart' AI or a 'dumb' one

Caboose: "Oh my God!!!!! Andy!!! Your dead!!! You had so much to live for!!!! So much exploding to dooo!!!!"

I was just wondering which it is.

For those who haven't read the books, Smart and Dumb isn't in relation the AI's intelligence because they are all super smart. But in relation to the AI's creativity. Dumb AI's are great at specific tasks but aren't that creative. this meaning they don't innovate. Smart AI's like Cortana are fully creative and extremely smart. Not to mention they have an attitude.

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give EL1TE SUPR3MACY lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

The Superintendent is a 2nd Generation "dumb" AI tasked with making sure that the city of New Mombasa's infrastructure (read: the Departments of Health and Human Services, Housing, Public Safety, Recreation, Streets and Sanitation, and Utilities and Transportation) is running smoothly and safely.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

He's a Dumb AI, not to mention he was damaged during the slipspace rupture so he's not fully functional.

Yes, really

i would imagine dumb, because he is in charge of basic tasks(trash routes, traffic control) and doesn't really need any innovation.

Howdy

The Superintendent AI isn't Dumb. It's damaged from The Slipspace Rupture and can't function properly. But it will still guide you and give you what you need to be along your way through The Covenant occupied New Mombassa.

in terms of the AI's creativity, it is a Dumb AI. That means that it cannot function past it's set of instructions. it has nothing to do with its intelligence

Yes I guess in those terms it would be dumb but look at it this way You (Human) are lost in a dark city alone. Hostiles at every corner trying to kill you. Your Relying on that AI you call dumb.

they are all intelligent. It is classified as a Dumb AI because it cannot "think" like a human mind. like cortana can. It cannot do what it was not programmed to do. Therefore a Dumb AI. smart by our standards yes, but by AI standrads, it is dumb

We are talking about Dumb in AI terms. Smart would be an AI like Cortana, that is a veritable Super-person. A dumb AI is more like a highly advanced computer program.

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

well in UNSC terms, he is a dumb A.I., but in bungie terms, he is a smart toaster.


i think that the Toaster name will stick.
