A sociopath whose only interests were self-preservation and science. Add to that the pain and terror of transfer, the instinctive hatred of her creators, and the addiction to testing that very soon ruled her existence, and it was no wonder GLaDOS became the way she was. Poor dear Caroline, trapped inside a metal monster for the rest of eternity.

Caroline wasn't dead at all. She was transfigured, but not dead. As the software invaded her mind, her softer human parts retreated to escape the pain. They weren't destroyed, but they sealed themselves away to avoid the main computer system. That system took what was left of the woman—her cerebral traits, her capacity for thought, and the most basic instincts hardwired into every animal—and by assimilating them had cobbled together… A superintelligent megalomaniac.

In "3001: The Final Odyssey" Frank Poole is alive and well after his body was discovered floating about in deep space, frozen, but nothing that future medical equipment couldn't heal. And HAL and Dave, who had fused into a new entity — Halman — did save Earth together. So no harm, no foul. GLaDOS on the other hand, was the result of a human consciousness, striped bare of it's human body, forced to live in a metal shell. Poor Caroline retreated in a corner of the computers mind. Read on.

Computers that lack a human point of view over things, that is, lacks humanity, is doomed to inevitably decide that good is evil, and evil is good. In Auto's case, following orders was good. Even if it meant keeping the humans alive by force. In HAL's case, telling the truth and not telling the truth was good at the same time, meaning that the crew's lives were important, but at the same time, they were disposable if the mission was in peril. And HAL didn't kill anyone after all. Just read on.

Whenever I see Auto, I think of HAL-9000!

Auto belongs in my *****.

He's not evil. AUTO is not designed to obey the orders of the Captain. Ultimately, he follows the orders of Shelby Forthright, the CEO of BnL.
He followed directive A113 because it came straight from Forthright.
Always bugged me why the Axiom builders felt that the ship's autopilot/steering well needed a built in tazer.
