ok in the book TFoR the pillar of autumn has 2 ai's 1 being obviously cortana.... the other being the ship ai... so what happened to it?.... i know it must have been inevitbly destroyed... or its what lead the covenant to earth.....hmmm... ponder it if you have read it... otherwise all else will be dismissed... at least by me...

Well since the Pillar of Autumn has been destroyed it's quite possible that the ship's AI was destroyed as well.

The shipboard AI was destroyed when Capt Keyes initiated the Cole Protocol. Even if it was not destroyed. The Covenant found Earth from the rocks on Reach and Cote d'Avior(sp). They did not need an AI.

Hey,

"is it just me or does it seem that Cortona looks alot different in the H3 trailer than in Halo 2? Also, someone from Bungie (sorry I don't know the name but you rock) said that its uncertain wether that is Cortona in the H3 video. (Download Halo 3 in the begining from the xbox live market place) Maybe its a clone, or maybe another "evil" spartan's b*&%$."

from my other post.


hey, maybe its the other ai that is in the trailer

The shipboard AI is a 'dumb AI' whereas Contana is a 'smart AI'. The shipboard AI is basically just a really big computer. Any info about Earth or other important knowledge would simply be dumped from the memory of the computer.

Also, is it really that big of a suprise that Contana looks different in the trailer? She obviously received a graphical upgrade when Bungie switched to the Xbox360, just like MC. Incase you didn't notice, she looks different between Halo:CE and Halo2 aswell, but no one called her identity into question then.

Plus, it's already been confirmed that it's Contana in at least 1 Weekly WhatsUpDate by Frankie...

The shipboard AI couldn't have been too important otherwise CApt. Keyes would have uploaded it into MC's helmet. It was porbably for just running the ship.

ahh but in the book it said if chief took cortana on the reach destruction that he would have to have the other ai run the rest of the diag.. so that means.... either in transport of slipspace they removed him, or something else happened

The POA may have more than that. There was Cortana, an unamed AI for point defense, the AI for the ODSTs, and then "BW-AI"
