Looking at what I wrote before getting a solid eight hours of sleep, I see that this needs a complete re-write for comprehensibility... But Foxboy, at least, was able to pull some meaning out of it so I'll leave what's there up for now.
Noah's "angels"... Noah tried to program awareness of being AIs into them before they woke up, but that might not be compatible with the theory I've presented. Must think on that.
(And, yes, Agatha is jealous... but it's going to last a lot longer than the average snit.)

Quote:Another point is how long it takes an awakened AI to realize it IS an AI, depending on how its shell is built.Karen definitely didn't; that was made clear in her origin story.
An AI like the Scott Series androids or Karen Sorrel may not immediately know they're artificial on waking.

Quote:Another point: some of the AIs based on Rampant AIs in fiction, seem to have wound up a little more benevolent than in Canon. For example: GLaDOS from "Portal" is considerably nastier than the Soviet GLaDOS.This may be a side-effect of handwavium and the Slapstick Effect.
After all, our authors have yet to have any Waved AI go Skynet/HAL/SHODAN. Noah's Agatha is more of a jealous snit than actual rampancy.
