Addressing the Intellitrons
Regarding Intellitrons
Its interesting how intellitrons gaining consciousness is never explained in HSR, Rupert I obtaining consciousness in a junkyard is never explained properly.
What we know is Rupert was thrown away by his creator or whoever made//owned him, and he gained consciousness afterward, he never had consciousness prior to that, only after being discarded and left rotting in junk did he gain a sense of self.
This abandonment is the reason he grew resentment over organic beings.
Assuming intellitrons just emerged conscious after humans have created hyper advance AI enough, this case of Rupert gaining consciousness is weird. Since he was practically rotting in junk when he gained consciousness or wasn't advance enough upon creation and only become advance after being tossed away. Even then we can't assume that intellitrons were just normal machines that become advance enough to be conscious since the explanation for it in hsr is left vague.
Maybe its the same way as how Ampho electrical signals gained consciousness and person hood? A treshold of intelligence for machines?
This is the strongest hypothesis so far that technology in hsr can somehow give rise to consciousness.
But that doesn't explain how or why? What technology allows for this? If this is the case why is Herta's dolls not conscious if they too are AI?
I assume even before the Mechanical City was established Intellitrons were already conscious and roaming around but a centralized seperate government from organics emerged long after.
Even then, intellitrons of old probably had creators but intellitrons like Pearl doesn't seem to have one. She never mentions having a creator she just comes from Planet Screwllum like everyone else
What do you guys think? I'm trying to form a coherent theory regarding intellitrons and their origin but theirs such little info, and the game never explains it properly. Its so odd how they just popped up mysteriously in the timeline, or maybe i'm missing something.
