Question in regards to Loyalty...

[Rxu]

Dogs, cats and toasters can be intelligent and ruled by, free will. But they do not feel such things as remorse, frustration, joy or gratitude, because those are extensions of basic feelings and it requires a conscious either good or bad to demonstrate and/or feel them.

The machines were not brutal in their warfare, they were efficient which is part of their programming. "Brutal" would require them to acknowledge the fact they nearly terminated the human race.

Our destiny was not planned, we were not the target of elimination due to the lack of sunlight and power, therefore machines as a whole due to their limited thought process came back to the most basic of all instincts…Kill or be killed, much like a dog or any other animal would think.

In the end we continue to give these marvels of our own creation, far too much credit.
