Eighth Gear ; Video
[Tali's been thinking a lot about Legion, lately. It might be because it had died right in front of her, or it might be because up until a few moments before his death, she hadn't been certain of whether he cared for her or wanted to kill her.
It had been the latter, it turned out.]
Tell me, City -- how do you feel about artificial intelligence? Does it exist it your world?
If it does, do you trust it? Is it its own species -- or many species?
If you killed it, would you consider it murder, or simply -- deactivation?
[She glances off-camera.]
I don't doubt that people feel differently here, with the AI having bodies. I'm just -- curious.
[Really, she's trying to sort through how she really feels about them -- the geth, at least. Making a generalization about all AI would be as ridiculous as making a generalization about all organic life. The Reapers were far different from the geth, after all, and they'd proved that repeatedly.]

[Not that she actually does impulsive things as often as she tells herself she should, lately.]

And he likes to think he's about as far as impulsive as you can get.]
Spontaneous behavior produces unpredictable results. That doesn't sound too relaxing.
Video;
[Not always the case, but a gamble worth taking.]
Video; -- as far from impulsive** lol
Not worth the risk. And either way, I've yet to see spontaneous behavior produce anything pleasant or of value.
[Like the ISOs, the virus, Flynn's capriciousness. Unpredictable behavior in his system didn't have a very good track record.]

Maybe you'll see something nice.

You're a real advocate of this, aren't you?

[Pause] Is it very different from your own system?
Video;
Yes, it's -- very different indeed.
