Hello, my name is Betty
Jane 4.0 was a mistake in many ways. She was certainly never planned. Her genesis began years before she was officially brought online when a computer tech working on Jane 3.0 brought a copy of her code home to play with. It was one of the early code copies from back when Jane 2.0 was still being converted into Jane 3.0 and was far less stable than the final product. When the drug lords had Jane 3.0’s support infrastructure destroyed, America was in instant need of a new AI to replace her. His intermediate Jane was nowhere near combat capability, but she was better than the nothing the Army would soon have. So he began sending out feelers to those still alive in the Army’s AI program. It didn’t take long for them to notice him.
