S.A.M - Simulated Adaptive Matrix (Official Thread)

Considering after Jarvis became the Vision he installed Friday in all of his suits I'm gonna say no. Jarvis does not exist outside of the Vision anymore. 

 If he's not self-aware, he's nothing more than a fancy Cortana which is kinda boring. 

It would be cool if Sam becomes HAL at some point and sings Daisy Bell...

Are we seriously using spoiler blocks in the character discussion threads? I figured spoilers were implied in these threads.

I'll gladly participate if we are discussing openly, as in the other character threads.

Edit: Screw it.

So, Fabrice Condominas had the following interaction with Eurogamer regarding SAM, that should totally be in the OP, and not hidden in a spoiler block.

I had hoped that things had changed, since the leak, and that SAM would be a bodiless voice. Fabrice's comments seem to suggest otherwise.

Hey, I wanted to respond to you without cluttering the Twitter thread further.

(Are we still doing the spoiler tag thing here? Uh, until I know for sure I guess I'll do the tag...)

I completely agree with what you said about EDI - giving her a body was a mistake, in my opinion. I dunno, maybe there would have been a better way to go about it. Like, perhaps making her reasoning more about being able to help via combat, and then making the body not look like a sex bot. Like, it's a robot body, it could be anything. It could be made out of guns.

Maybe because my mind immediately went to JARVIS as a comparison, I agree that a disembodied voice companion is more interesting to me. But, just because he used the word robot doesn't necessarily mean that it will be like EDI. I mean, as I said, a robot body could be anything. It could be more akin to a Star Wars droid, maybe, or like Avina where it has hologram stations.

EDIT: I guess no spoiler tags, then!
