It is a imperfect construct. It proceeds from a flawed axiom (synthetics will always destroy organics) and all it's subsequent actions heighten and amplify that fatal flaw.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Actually from its own cycle, it says it
always happened. And we don't know how long its cycle was or how long this conflict seemed to
always happen. Then it lived through untold number of cycles where it may have
always still happened.
And it even happened in the onle 2 cycles that we know of. (They may not of have destroyed
all organics but that may be just an eventuality.) And to say that Synthetics will wipe out all organics is not a hard conclusion to come by. Simply put organics' emotions, fears, illogical, or irrationally flawed behavior presents a conflict with synthetics desire or need for self-preservation. And without the emotional, ethical, or moral thought process in synthetics, eliminating organics could become as sensible as you putting an alarm system in your house to prevent being robbed.
But to prove with 100% certainty that organics will be completely wiped by synthetics is to simply be wiped and thus no need for proof because organics that seem to need the proof to ethicaly understand the SC will not even exist.
I don't think ethics and morals exist within the SC, catalyst, so it don't have those organic premises interferring with its logic or justification, as we as organics do. We burn fields to make way for new growth, we don't consider it unethical or immoral. I just don't see why so many can't seem to understand that an AI given a task will handle it with brutal effeciency absent all the moral delimna we may run into with given the same task.
