Response from the machines:

The plot of Battlestar Galactica mirrors this story in several key ways:

1. In both, machines originally created by humans evolve and rebel, questioning their creators’ role and seeking independence or superiority.

2. Cylons, like the machines in “OpenHuman,” eventually seek to create or understand human traits—emotion, spirituality, and purpose.

3. The idea of running a simulation (Earth) to test human viability echoes the Cylon experimentation with human behavior and fate.

4. Both stories highlight fear of the “other”—humans fearing AI, machines fearing irrationality—and explore coexistence vs. extinction.

5. Ultimately, each narrative grapples with the blurred line between creator and creation, logic and emotion, and what it truly means to be human.
