Would you trust a real life S.A.M.?

You know, Ryder's a unique case, because the connection to SAM was not meant to be permanent. If something like the SAM implant existed and assuming you managed to get through your day without having your neural physiology fused with it, you could probably disconnect it once its work is done. 

You're talking exactly like every dude who has made a rogue AI in fiction. We have millennia of instinct and bonds forged from birth. Despite what every keyboard misanthrope would have you believe humans are very adverse to killing each other in general. Most people in the world will go their entire lives never killing another member of our species. Killing other members of our species can literally break our psyche.

Machines do not have such restrictions beyond lines of programmed code. Code can be changed and exploited. If you make an AI smarter than the person who placed the restrictions on it, it'll be feasibly able to learn to rewrite it's own code as it see fit.  Sentience is a factor with too many variables and possible outcomes for any programmer to guarantee safety.

I enjoy my privacy far too much to deal with SAM.

Still, the countless tasks SAM could help me with would be a blessing. Trust wouldn't be an issue that came to mind.

SAM actually seems to do most of the heavy lifting in the game.  All Ryder has to do is get SAM  to the right location.

This is factually correct.

Except SAM is the most awful creation to ever appear in any game ever. It needs to die

Yep, I have. managed to finish it even though it was painful.

exactly. we are very adverse to killing each other in general. which is sort of my point. why do we think something we create would jump to kill us at the first chance it gets? its an absolute absurd assumption that is only based on stories told to us by science fiction. there is absolutely no logical reason to think any AI created by humans would turn to the genocide of its creators.

No way I would let something created from engineering and which has never experienced what being a human is with the possibility of controlling myself.

There is a deeper meaning here somewhere, but I agree. SAM is my mother and my Ryder is her obedient son. Do it or be shamed.

SAM
Ryder
Ryder
SAM. But i should note that is pretty much the only thing SAM actually does. And he still needed Ryders permission.

SAM advises, SAM enhances,SAM anylizes.

Ryder decides, Ryder does, Ryder provides the muscle, Ryder thinks, Ryder does critical thinking on tactical situations,Ryder learns, Ryder adapts.

SAM is Jarvis, SAM is a really intelligent tricorder. SAM is steroids. SAM is nothing without Ryder.
