I'm making this so people stop day dreaming about how we will fight the Superintendent or how and why it will go rampant, because it can't.

I already knew, but for people who may reject the reality, go to halo.wikia.

The Superintendent is a 2nd generation AI, which make him fall into the "dumb category"
The "dumb" AI category mean: have limitations in their dynamic memory-processor matrix, meaning they can't be taught a vast wealth of information and can't learn and comprehend from their surroundings. This"dumb" A.I.s can only learn one topic.

The smart AI: Due to their uninhibited matrix design, "Smart" A.I.'s proved capable of intellectual development. This was manifested in that they could both learn from and adapt to situations and events. Conversely, their opposites, the so-called "dumb" A.I.s, (which while experts in their programmed fields) could not



Also remember, he's not a military AI, but a city infrastructure AI.

Now it's in uproar. I was about to create topic. Then I saw your one. So to back the creator of this thread up guys, he is correct

For some people "won't be another GLADOS" only mean it won't be insane and won't make a cake. While rampancy isn't making insane, but pure EVIL.

The Superintendent can't become self-aware, it can go be damaged and hardly work , but again, it can't go Marathon rampant.

If that makes any sense.
