My problem with AIVAS is that it’s not NECESSARY
The pernese don’t need deus ex AI, they’ve spent the last decade plus rediscovering their ancient history all on their own. And yeah, it speeds things up a bit to have a machine that magically tells everyone exactly what they need to know and do, but tons of other things could serve that purpose.
Imagine how much more fun it would be if the history of the first crossing and Landing was discovered when someone saw the murals painted at Honshu, and microbiology info was hidden in Wind Blossom’s labs at Fort, and a normal old computer with some files detailing the plan to move the red star was uncovered, along with Emily Boll’s desktop photo of her family.
Imagine the awe and eeriness of the pernese learning exactly what they need to know while touching tbe artifacts of their ancestors! But instead we get AIVAS rolling out lists of bland facts and taking the fun out of everything
