A.I.-Gs are perhaps the most expensive form of synthetic intelligences. The simulated mind of even an infant requires tremendous parallel processing power to ensure that the many parts of the young intelligences ‘brain’ are communicating. Further, each A.I.-G requires a great deal of hand-crafting by talented programmers who replace the burgeoning intelligence's biological imperatives with new ones according to its intended purpose: A companion droid, for instance, may get the same sensation from giving another person pleasure and emotional fulfilment as if they'd just enjoyed a good meal. A.I.-Gs are programmed to feel pleasure from helping organics, which some describe as a nearly sexual thrill. The fine-tuning of these processes is absolutely vital, and each A.I.-G must be hand-guided towards the desired responses, as a minor error or oversight could result in feelings of rage or loathing by mistake.
