The Brain's behavior

In this article, it states that the dilemma that the Brain had to solve made it go into a childish state. However, in the book, it states that the Brain is always like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.250.85 (talk) 02:30, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The book says that normally positronic brains like him are programme with a childish personality and looser version of the three laws so they can work as a supercomputer less impeded. The article meens that he became even more childish (became a practical joker - only beans and milk and stuff)Dalek9 (talk) 12:04, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

The book implies that the Brain is child-like, and that the threat of death to humans causes damage to how it functions, causing it to become child-ish, as the title implies. Further, the Three Laws are not de-emphasized until the Brain is presented with this particular problem, because of the failure of the other machine ("Deep Thought" or something like that). No de-emphasis of the Three Laws is necessary until this point. The difference in the two machines is in fact the capacity for emotion, for which only U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men possess the patents. -- TheLastWordSword (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
