Hence why you will find different past AI factions with different origins, stories etc.
Though the original AI faction on the Server (or at least I think they were, that preceded my time here) were the Harvesters, whom are sort of like the Nomads, created by the Da'am Kvosh, only non biological. They were the experiments that were made before the nomads.
I had my own weird semi GLADOS port of AI story to Discovery. Never took it really seriously though and more spilled my random weird thoughts there.
Of course. I know what you mean, but no matter what, the "Harvesters lore" has never existed in discovery RP canon, even though it might be cool. We are the only active AI faction for a longer period of time and we still see potential to improve the assets. I can say we have constructed something solidary for discovery that is even conform to a lot retconned AI content.
It is hardly impossible to RP the AI serious ingame. The lore was broken, the infocards and ID contradicts and the ships are weak compared to most others around and also contradicts each other technological.
