And in any case was presumably a very early prototype, so might be frying pan -> fire.

It has been established that AI in the QC universe are not intentionally made, they spontaneously arise. No one commissions them.

I’m pretty sure the first few were spontaneous but then people figured out the correct combination of hardware and software to make spontaneous generation nearly guaranteed and then, sometime between then and now (post-singularity, remember), all of that was refined into the compact, interchangeable “AI drive” we see corpse witch pull out of, was it Punchbot(?), that one time.
As for why generate AI if you can’t guarantee it will want to do a specific job, I could ask the same about children, which are far more resource intensive to produce and can’t even migrate into a task-adapted shell.
hedgie:
Of course, that discounts AIs mixing code and spawning child processes. Hell, even in the original GiTS film, Kusanagi merged her mind with that of Project 2501 to create a gestalt entity.
Farideh:
Donation drive is a go! This might be a force for good. The more people are made aware of this issue, the more they can start swaying public opinion and maybe change things for the better.

Back during my relatively brief tumor thing, the doctor told me that the state of the filthy little Donald Trump* in my kidney gave me a 95% survival rate.
As a long established player of tabletop rpgs, my first thought was "gee, when has anybody ever rolled a one at the worst possible time".
*I named the tumor Donald Trump. My dad thought this was hilarious until Trump won the primaries. Then he asked why I didn't name it Hillary.
