I'm aware of the new lore Gammu/Technocracy got after patch 5.0 but it still doesn't entice me at the moment. In my humble opinion, any eventual 'freedom' is something that should be at the end of the AI story, not at the beginning. It should be the product of some character development based on the environment and in-game interactions. Or any desire for freedom may not even happen and my character can remain a useful tool of the people around it.
Far more interesting is the Core side, which has allowed this AI character to be firmly anchored on the side of authorities and corporations, which is the perfect place for such a relatively expensive character in terms of operation and maintenance. Subsequent submission to authorities, in my opinion, beautifully portrays the position such an artificial life form would hold in a dystopian human society.
The very fact that Core has conquered the planet Gammu and plunders any technologies it finds there is a perfect reason for the existence of a character like 776-28X.
