The Mech Touch

Chapter 6796  Eccentric Smart AI Templates

The Red Fleet developed a collection of weird and unusual smart AI templates.
There were all kinds of people within the Red Fleet.
Its research divisions were quite enormous.
After all, in order to remain competitive with the high-ranking mech designers of the Red Association, the fleeters had to rely much more on quantity in order to keep up in terms of technological refinement and innovation.
This naturally meant that the Red Fleet employed its own fair share of oddball researchers and developers. So long as they performed their expected duties, they received enough recognition to propose their own R&D projects.
All of this gave Ves quite a few choices to work with. He already had a vague vision of what he wanted from his final smart AI slot.
The SEA SOVEREIGN, STAR WATCHER, ARMOR POLISHER and IRON MONGER smart AI templates were all purely functional.
The smart AIs derived from them were programmed to fulfill their tasks in the most efficient way possible. Everything they learned as the Larkinsons interacted with them would get added to their existing problem solving frameworks.
While the onset of developing sentience may cause them to develop strong personalities, Ves found it difficult to imagine that they would deviate too much from their starting point. Their foundations were already set from the beginning. Whatever was built on top of that may add a lot of richness to their personality and operating approach, but they were fundamentally bound to their purpose.
This meant that the solutions generated by these smart AIs would not deviate too much from the solutions generated by the smart AIs that were already being used by the fleeters.
The lack of uniqueness grated on Ves. Just because he agreed to make use of the RF's excellent processing clusters did not mean he wanted to imitate the fleeters.
He already had multiple plans in store to add his own touch to the remarkable SF-02, and his choice of a fifth smart AI template would be the first step to deviating from the most obvious trajectory.
Ves repeatedly studied the list of smart AI templates and picked out a few that stood out from him right away.
[STARVING ARTIST - Art, creativity, unconventional.
MASTER ARTISAN - Craft, quality, consistency. 
HIGH PRIEST - Religion, social engineering.
ANARCHIST LEADER - Anarchy, resistance.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE - Business, management, economy.
CULT MASTER - Cult, secrecy, taboo.
FEUDAL KING - Kingdom, vassals, authority.
DARK LORD
