Trivia[]
These signs imagine advertising Marek Rosa's real-world software products in the game world. Rosa, the founder of the independent game dev studio Keen Softwarehouse that makes Space Engineers, owns a second company named GoodAI. They are developing an artificial general intelligence (AGI) called Badger that uses memetics, which means that multiple expert systems distribute pieces of information with the goal of collectively solving a task.
Good.Bot is the name of an AI in the Space Engineers world that appears as character in the The First Jump Scenario and Learning to Survive Scenario. It also displays tips to new players in SE's in-game chat. Unused hard-coded strings in the game files imply that Good.AI was likely intended to have an interactive chat dialog with the player to answer gameplay questions, but apparently this feature was never completed.
"Grid AI" was the working title of what was later released as the Automaton Update; the term "AI Grid blocks" refers likely to the Automaton blocks.
