Is it possible to make Ami STFU?

I played the demo and all I could hear was yak,yak,yak from Ami as well as constant interference from Dr Foster. By the end of the demo, I was sick of hearing Ami constantly rambling on about inconsequential details and also sick of Doctor Foster who evidently has little faith in his AI to do the job properly, so he felt he had to keep checking up. I've quit jobs because of bosses who felt they had to keep checking on me instead of letting me get on with the job.

If it was a REAL AI in the game that was learning as you played and suggesting courses of action for you to take based on that learning, it would have some meaning, but the constant pre-scripted chatter is little more than an annoyance to me.

Aww I love AMI and just know Dr Foster is a bad guy

, I wish there were even more choices we could make for her in the demo. If you hate the talking you can hit the arrow and skip forward very quickly

There is a sandbox mode that does not include the story campaign and allows you to choose the location of your first landing site as well.

I would much prefer a setting that makes AMI quiet. I am not interested in the scripted voice droning on as if it were a sentient AI.

As I said, if it were a REAL AI that was experiencing the world as you played the game, it would be much more realistic since, the things it said would not be exactly the same in each game. If you've played the campaign once and decide to restart, the same scripted lines get old and boring. If you've made a few mistakes and had to restart a few times, it starts to get annoying and that's when turning it off would be an option.

been watching videos... i do NOT like that annoying voice. It seems preachy in many of the lines i heard in videos.

"Time to start pumping greenhouse gases, how hard could it be humans did it on earth..."

passive aggressive twit.

I could deal with it if it wasn't so constant.

There's a lot of fluff dialogue that I could really do without.

I don't hate it all, because it gives context to the game, and in the beginning it's not quite so bad, especially as you're not doing as much in the early stages... but once things start to get going, I've complained aloud that they just talk so damn much.
