We just finished a campaign where a group had created life-like people by
using a computer to mimic the signals the brain sends to cyberware. Human
controllers defined the goal and an approach, and the AI dealt with minor
adjustments to the plan. Anything major threw them for a loop, though, and
they just ran off. Supposedly a "secret research department" in Ares was
developing them.
