Gregor: Many worry that artificial intelligence will make humans obsolete.
Florence: My species is already obsolete.
Florence: We were made as a proof of concept. Robots here use Dr. Bowman's neural design. Animals on alien worlds won't need to be uplifted. Robots can colonize those systems without any need to modify the local life forms.
Florence: Perhaps obsolete isn't the right term for Bowman's wolves. Maybe vintage. Though I think I'll need a few more birthdays before I'm comfortable referring to myself as a vintage product.
