This setting is so fucking dumb

ME READING WARHAMMER 40K BOOKS IN 2018: this setting is so fucking dumb. No way a society would let their entire technological infrastructure be controlled by a handful of fanatics that have convinced themselves that computer code is literally God
ME NOW: Ah,
Except they don't use AI in WH40K. They use cloned human brains for anything that can't be achieved with basic electronics. I'm pretty sure the AdMech actually consider AI a form of heresy against the Machine God and the Omnissiah.
They do bionically enhance the human brain with Neuralink-style interfaces, and even go as far as entombing a person in a pod of brain fluid to augment their interface to one specific machine. But full on AI is not kosher AFAIK
Humanity DID use AI in the 40k universe. We are on the other side of Age of Strife.
Yeah good point. They used to use it and then had to swear off it. It's a common sci fi trope. See also the Butlerian Jihad in the Duneiverse
Haha yes, no AI in the Imperium, no sir, just machine spirits, the chosen of the Omnissiah!
