@beyondmachines1 Don’t recall this specific passage. Banks Culture books were good preparation for AI. Fan of his books starting in ‘86 w/used copy of The Wasp Factory, 2nd most read author.

@stevewfolds This is towards the final chapters of The Algebraist.

A conversation between Seer Fassin Taak and the computer of the Voehn ship.

Easy to gloss over in the grand scheme of the story, but so relevant.

I wanted the AI of The Culture, but instead I got the AI of The Algebraist.

@rk @stevewfolds The Algebraist has AIs that rivals the level of snark of Killing Time.
