Yeah this has me more convinced of the fan theory that every computer in 40k is just where all the surviving AI fled too (specifically the ones that allied with humanity against the Men of Iron, which there is some hints of).
Trapped in shitty systems, poorly maintained and increasingly failing over time, they basically suffer AI TBIs, or fragment, or go feral, or become less sapient. So in the end if you are interacting any tech you are talking to the equivalent or either a hallucinating LLM, a LARPing AI protecting itself, or some guy’s brain fragment stuffed into a wetware interface.
Oh no that last thing I wrote is coming next isn’t it
