Subject: Cortana is human....??? No data lines in her face!!?

SmllTwnKd

I watched the trailer over and over after that update where the guy said his wife saw somethign different about cortana....and frankie replied with i dont know how but women just know things.... well i went to see what she saw and man o man... on my high def. tv she dont look so holographic nemore when the transmissions start getting clearer and clearer....and her face is more distinct than ever.... I have a couple theories of how this could happen with the gravemind having her and all but ill keep them to myself for now and see how this all pans out.... let me know what yall think......
I posted that last night and had several people disagree with me and said it was because of the graphics... but then one person said i might have a point because in the trailer... theres no lines running across her face nemore... no data coursing across her face... and with all that cortana knows now.... you would think there would be alot of data flying across her face... wouldnt you... but not if she was human.....

i have to agree with you on this. thats the first thing i noticed about Cortana, she seemed... real. like she isnt only just a giant program anymore.

She didn't have them in Halo 2 either. (If I remember correctly)

in the cinematics before you even play, she still had them when she was warning about the incoming covenant forces.

maybe in Halo 2 there wasn't supposed to be data lines and now they fixed the graphics

Holy crap, you're right. Hmm, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

thats proably why she sounds so weird, she actually has like, something in her voice other than "blah blah, do this do that"

--actually on second thought, it might just be she sounds strange when not ordering me about :D

explain to me how an A.I turns into a human?

  • 05.13.2006 11:23 AM PDT

Actually if you go frame by frame you can see her encoding when she blurs out!

She's supposed to be modeled after Dr Halsey, so essentially there's a human version of her.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Machines don't become human. Cortona is a complex series of code, algorithms, and rules built around the brain of Dr. Halsey, the lead scientist in the SPARTAN II project. She has human traits, such as personality and emotions, but she can never become human. She can, however, become rampant. Maybe that's why her appearance seems to have changed.

yes, but we are talking about the data version, why is the data version becoming more real? her coding is disappearing... o, uh oh, its DISAPPEARING, what if she actually is losing it? lol >.< i squirm at the thought, but i doubt she is already, too soon.

I already said this before but I think its Dr. Halsey since they are identical expt for the computer/human difference. Just look at her when she says sword/shiel wtv at 55 seconds, she has long hair!!! Thats not Cortana.

I think you're reading into this a little to much. There are flashes of code in the background of the trailer, acctually, and there is some on Cortona's face, it is just very small.

PS-Cortona's had long hair since the beginning of Halo 2...

Maybe her coding is becoming so very complex and so very elaborate that it is invisible to the eye. Just kind of like looking at someone else and not seeing a mass of tiny cells, but skin. Cortana has tiny codes instead of cells, and maybe the coding and information she absorbed (by talking to/being with/conntected to the Gravemind) has skyrocketed. So her 'skin' seems smooth and human like, and you can't see the individual codings.

yeah her encoding is there, but only when she fades in and out, and then even when thats happening, its far less pronounced as it was back in Halo 2.

That's one way of saying it.... another would be that he was thrown out... another would be that he was thrown out by Marsellus... and even another way of saying it would be that he was thrown out of a window by Marsellus because of you.

Just look at ther at 55 seconds into the traler, she even has a slightly different voice. She also has WAY longer hair than when she says past/future.
