To play or not to play....

Could the Forerunners be an advanced AI???

I have been giving this some thought and it is possible that the Forerunners could be an AI of some sort. This AI may have been created by humans in the past but eventually the forerunner AI became advanced that it took control and possibly enslaves humans.

Another possiblity is that the Forerunners see all sentiant life as a threat. Sentiant life created them hence may eventually learn how to destroy them (or what ever reason). The flood is just an excuse (and weapon used) to wipe out sentiant life.

Yeah that was my far fetched theory for today :)

Still it has elements that are worth thinking about. Just because everyone thinks the forerunners are human doesn't mean they are. Humans definately worked with the forerunners though.

Proof... Hmmm the best I can offer is simple logic.

The Monitors refer to humans as reclaimers. This is something programmed into them and not a case of being decided on later. As the Monitor and Gravemind both say the forerunners were killed off during the last Activation off Halo and as Humans are the ones who activate the rings then it is most likely that humans worked with the Forerunners. It seems the rings could not have been activated without humans. Including the last activation.

If the forerunners built the Halo rings why would they allow the humans to activate them if they didn't work with them on some level. Humans worked with or for the Forerunners. I have doubt as to humans being Forerunners. Though I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Just because that Arc thingy looks like it is on Earth doesn't prove humans are Forerunners. It just means the installation is on Earth and probably not much more than that. As we were destined to be reclaimers after the rings activation it is logical that humans survived and possibly explains why humans emerged on Earth.

While I offer no real proof as such what I have stated is fairly logical.

Then it is deffinantly speculation based on cohesive data. =)

I'm not saying your wrong, I am just saying, it isn't concrete...Just seems really, really likely.
