Because in "their thinking", such a singularity and the resulting AI would just eradicate everything, making planets, solar systems, complete galaxies void of life and ressources as it spreads out further and further - on the contrary to biological life, which always values ressources, ecosystems and the health of their planet and all.
Wait....
Well atleast that's the reasoning and I am ok with that.
And the reaping shit, what is that? Why not just develop better weapons while you're chilling in dark space and at least destroy the developed races in a mercifully humane way, rather than WAGING CENTURIES OF GRUELLING WAR AND TURNING THEM INTO GOO.
Classic
for the Serenity reference!
This is probably what Walters envisioned (and most likely wrote) for the ending of ME3, but the EA overlords said they couldn't put this into the game because of the obvious Adult rating the game would receive, thus hurting sales.

This isn't a children's story like WH40K. In the grim darkness of Mass Effect's future there is only extreme war.
The attempt to attribute some higher meaning to genuinely random shit is a common human weakness. Trying to make heads and tails of what BW were thinking of is equally pointless because, despite their moaning to the contrary, they really can not into hard sci-fi. This shit in ME wasn't hard sci-fi to start with and it's been getting softer and softer with each iteration. From what I've been able to gather about ME3, it's gotten so soft that you could spread it on toast with a plastic airplane knife. I mean: dreams of a kid in the forest? Really? The only way that could get any worse is if, in the dream sequences, the Shepard model would be replaced with a Pedobear model. Probably the deviant wing of their fan club would welcome that with open arms.Because in "their thinking", such a singularity and the resulting AI would just eradicate everything, making planets, solar systems, complete galaxies void of life and ressources as it spreads out further and further - on the contrary to biological life, which always values ressources, ecosystems and the health of their planet and all.

Maybe that's the legendary Bioware science expert. Remember there is a thin line between genius and insanity.
Yes, because our minds aren't broken, unlike those of the Bioware writing staff.
Only a crazy person can find this shit logical and reasonable.
And why would you be afraid of the technological singularity? In my opinion, the question isn't whether or not it will happen but when will it happen. If you look into it a bit more, most people afraid of it are the same luddites who are afraid of technology even today, or who attribute ethics and morality to various technologies. That's a fallacy because technology and science have no intrinsic ethics or morals. That's the sole responsability of the user. If an AI will someday evelove past human intelligence levels and using that intelligence, it will determine that humans are shit and they need exterminating, then, instead of panicking now over how we could stop that from happening, how about behaving in such a way that when that AI appears, it won't come to that conclusion, but to the conclusion that humans have a positive influence on the planet/galaxy/universe and they need its support and protection?
