the question often brings me an immense “wonder” each time honestly. To look at these creations and realize what they can do, and realize where and how far they have come. and how they started. Even the “servitors” that are truly in meaning, servitors are nowhere near any others existing or we ever had.
Like the “warrior monk”, he is a being, and a servitor… but more so on the known attributes of a servitor than the smart beings.
Yggdrassil, she is an immensely smart being, a powerful conscious, she is nowhere near a servitor, but the general reference is as such.
Yes, it does take away from the general understanding when we call them such. But we have to look at the general word and how it came into use.
=a being in which you can communicate to and allocate certain tasks and endeavors to him. an intelligent, smart, being with the endless capacity to learn.
however there has been noted difference in the design when a project asks for a “servitor” or when they deliberately state it is a smart being. it is not a slight difference and is a clear, visible one.
But in all cases, I still reserve all my wonder and appreciation to these beings. As a result, I acknowledge their “smart being” state but also at the same time acknowledge their presence to be of equal value to their intelligence.
while also understand that a servitor being like the warrior monk is majorly upgraded from an ESS or a dragon.
+10 years ago, I was that person who is hung up on a special way to address, the language, the expression… a friend of mine then said, when years pass and add to my understanding; you will realize how language is more about “communication” and shared understanding, and much less about the words and the specifics.
if it works for you then, it works :)
