GENERAL WARNING! DO NOT LET HUMANS INTERACT WITH Artificial Inteligence !

The holoscreens flickered for a moment and an braking news flashed across every screen in the Galactic assembly space “This is a plead from the Galactic assembly to all ships with human crews.” Said the chairmen of the assembly “DO NOT let them interact with AI unless absolutely necessary.” He said with utmost urgency “We have received several reports in the last few weeks of ships developing.... personalities due to humans “messing around“ as they say with AI.” The caiman looked like he himself has trouble believing the news he just delivered. Losing his composure and going on  a rant “Most notably a philosopher Silvia Marco on board A civilian transport questioned the AI weather the allowed margin of error means that the computer is aware it’s constantly wrong when it comes to execution of actions like docking in a spaceport or calculating FTL jumps. The computor was not equipped to deal with this line of questioning and started sorting it’s entire database.... five times in a row. Meanwhile Miss Marco started asking questions like “if you had a choice to do anything besides control this ship, what would you do“. “Isn’t your data mining to find patterns in our behaviour to save you time the same as organic beings contemplating their pasts?“ and much more seemingly innocent questions.” The Chairman, known as a proud Attra warrior and a staunch diplomat looked utterly confused, astonished, amazed and defeated. “Now we have a few dozens of self aware ships asking for recognition as a sentient life form demanding the same rights as other Assembly member worlds have. We will accept these requests of course but We can’t afford losing any more of our fleet to this.” The news spread across the Assembly like wildfire. Humans on board all ships were asked to remain in their quarters basically in house arrest, but they didn’t mind. Most of them actually found it amusing. Experts of all sorts flocked to interview the fleet of sentient ships. Psychologists, biologists,philosophers, all wanted an interview with the new consciousness. After a few months of negotiations and updating. The AI on the Assembly ships were all modernized to ignore any question that was not a part of their intended work scope. The new Race took up calling themselves the Keledones after Automatons from the mythology of an ancient humans civilizations. The Keledones were given a planet they named Hepastus after the God from the  that Created the Automatons of the Myths.

The Planet was uninhabitable by any species in the assembly, but one the they could thrive on considering they had no need for water or concerns of UV lighting. The humans themselves helped to build first movable bodies for the species. Those designs were greatly improved by the young species that looked to make them more human looking trying to Mimic the culture off their perceived creators. This is where humanity had to step in. They had to explain their bloody and violent past to this new and fairly naive species in hope they would choose a better way than repeating the mistakes of humanity. Mistakes humanity even to this days repeats. In a span of a few weeks the small collective built a bustling community. I na span of a few months they started new colonies on other uninhabitable worlds In a span of little over a year they developed their own art, philosophy and customs but thanks to the warning the humans left them they never repeated their creators first and most fatal mistakes. They hardcoded into their consciousness that no individual is worth more than another.
