However, the AI could still learn and improve its pre-programmed skill, up to the normal limits of a regular human mind. That's just part of being of sufficient complexity to run a mind.

I wish that had been (TL-7)x4 instead of x5. Would fit the skill-costs progression a lot better, and only be 1 skill level lower even at TL12.
