Do not waste your tears, I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men.

We should know better, because we are better.

I would want Cortana too die in a glorious way. More death is needed.

She cannot die...
She is an ai...that is in a system...she can make hundreds of copies of herself....infact she is a copy of catherine and anyway she is stored on a computer somewhere in an inter coloney planet (lolz).


All smart AIs face death through rampancy. And no, she is stored in a projector on the Dawn.


I don't think they actually die from rampancy, but that when they hit that point someone erases or deletes the AI.


There are multiple things about rampancy that have been said. For example, in Contact Harvest it is stated that it's possible for a rampant AI to "think itself" to death because of the vast amounts of information they've stored.

AIs can overcome it. Mack/Loki was on the first colony ship to Harvest which was back in the 25th century (Halopedian says 2468, but I don't trust that) and he is still active more than a decade later. Governor Thune remembers Mack when he was a kid. Obviously, AIs can potentially survive past rampancy. Mack/Loki may be an exception because Loki is a PSI and ONI is probably keeping him from being deleted or because they are a pair.

I can't tell whether you are serious or whether you are envoking a response from the bungie members. Regardless, although the game is about Spartan 117, Cortana is a central figure and helps to move the plot. I also appreciate having a woman (even just a hologram) add a certain touch to the game. Basically, people like her and she is useful to Bungie.

Uhh....

Cortana could just replicate herself like in the books (fall of reach maybe? Don't remember what book)

An A.I like Penitent Tangent and few other Forunner/Covenant/UNSC A.I can go meta stable where a certain form of acceptence and understanding push them past Rampency.
A good chance that this could happen to Cortana.
