Yes.Mind the nature of AIs [is it a smart or dumb one?] in the GC though. It's widely accepted a sufficient AI does have a soul, but at the same time it's seen as a crime to make one since it's like giving a screw driver or wrench a soul, so to speak.Of course you can always pretend the AI is not really a AI, but someone whose mind was transferred to the interstellar webs.

Perfect. I saw your Google Doc about AI's which piqued my interest. The idea is that the botanist will play that the AI is a piece of assisting machinery in her studies, however, it will in actuality be a smart AI (essentially its own character) that replaces a sister/brother that died in the past. So I intend to make two CS, with the AI aware of the extreme need of secrecy and need to put on a façade when not in private quarters with the botanist.
