i feel like joshua would be very very afraid of AM but also because they were both created for the same purpose i think he would see him as family in a weird way... it would be like that one meme of a fucked up path and a niceys path. hes subconsciously looking for a father figure and he can either get attached to his fellow war machine who is fucked up and evil (AM) or he can latch onto the much more calm and collected government ai who isnt fucked up and evil (HAL). auto isnt relatable or warm enough for him to be considered in the equation LMAO
