For people complaining about how sunny and naive the Weapon is at first, you've gotta remember that she's just 6 months old basically: she was created in December 2559 for the sole purpose of destroying Cortana at which point she was supposed to automatically be deleted. Because of her limited mission, the information that she was given was limited. She then spent 6 months isolated and waiting for the Chief to return for her. She lacks any sort of real experiences to give her maturity. Cortana was online for at least a few years by the time that the Master Chief met her in order for her to be 8 years old in Halo 4.

Really the best way that 343i could improve on Halo 4 and 5's handling of their respective lore is to make sure that the lore is in the freaking game (Infinite). 343i has consistently required its fan base to be up-to-date on the expanded U to have any idea what is going on in their Halo games, and that is a mistake. If Infinite doesn't address the wide open plot threads from the end of 5 in-game then they're going to once again piss a lot of people off.

Traditional AI can be very creative, code lives forever as long as it has some hardware to run on. 'Smart AI limitations' could be easily overcome by running an annual maintenence program : The highlights of memory are reduced to weekly text files, 3650 images, and 365 short 10 minute video clips. This would create an annual diary for the AI. The final step : full reset to the Original New Image. Every year a new diary to read. Perfect health! On restart, the newly fresh Cortana would watch her 365 daily reports, view the images she thought were important, and read all the weekly text file reports. The neural net is preserved, the memory use reduced, and full function preserved. Keeping 5 years of full diary files, at the end of the year, the AI reduces the 6th oldest year to a 20 minute video, 1 text file, and 12 images. In this process, the Smart AI refreshes every year, discards most data more than 7 years old, and keeps a moving memory of only what is important. Functional Life is extended to 70 years or longer. Just like real humans, most data is discarded, only what is important is retained.
