![]() The end result is still a super computer muttering an error several times before exploding. Occasionally the way to shut down such a computer is less like a few odd statements, and more like an advanced philosophical debate on the nature of truth, free will and purpose. Some ridiculously dumb AIs are also immune to logic bombs by virtue of not understanding the concept of paradox - a sort of inverted case of Achievements in Ignorance. Be warned if the Logic Bomb fails to destroy the system outright (and in some cases, even when it does), the system's surviving remnants may go insane and attempt to kill you just the same.Īlso note that Ridiculously Human Robots (and some very advanced AIs) are generally able to recognize and defuse logic bombs on sight, long before they go off (and may view this as a particularly irritating kind of Fantastic Racism). Paradoxes and contradictory statements (especially contradictory orders) have become the primary material used to build the Logic Bomb and thus the standard way to defeat any sophisticated, computerized system or AI. If the computer is a robot, this will probably result in Your Head A-Splode. A fictional computer will attempt to debate and solve the paradox until it melts down. The easiest way to confuse it is with the Liar's Paradox, i.e. In fiction-land, however, it will explode. ![]() ![]() If you give a computer nonsensical orders in the real world it will, generally, do nothing (or possibly appear to freeze as it loops eternally trying to find a solution to the unsolvable problem presented to it). Is your sentient supercomputer acting up? Good news. ![]()
