If I may...
There are a few points I'd like to try to clear up. The phrase used in the Portal 2 leak does lend itself toward Cave Johnson's state of mind being imprinted on a computer, but we cannot be sure; and also, just because this may have happened does not imply that GLaDOS is of the same origin. There's a good chance that any unfortunate results of the "Save Cave" (tentative name) project may have discouraged AS from continuing with human-minds-in-computer projects; they may have coded an AI from scratch--GLaDOS?--to avoid any problems (which obviously worked out well).

I suppose, but it seems odd to release a fake script...even for Valve, really...

The phrase used in the Portal 2 leak does lend itself toward Cave Johnson's state of mind being imprinted on a computer, but we cannot be sure; and also, just because this may have happened [1] does not imply that GLaDOS is of the same origin.

[2] There's no reason to say so, because "Save Cave" project is after GLaDOS project, because "notes.exe" doesn't mention any project to embrace Cave Johnson in a computer - not before 1986.

[1]What is said in Part 2 isn't necessarily true. GLaDOS may have just acted as though she loved Chell to keep her off her guard.
[2]Would you put information about the Save Cave project in a notes file in Cave's account? I know there's an entry about an untested AI being activated after the presumed time, but I'm sure GLaDOS could edit it...[/i]

[2] There's no other account telling any portion of the story.
[3] The "untested AI" is GLaDOS.

Quote from pestchamber on August 2, 2009, 5:25 pmYeah, i'm a bit late, but i think "Gladdys" may have been a previous name of GLaDOS, but VALVe decided to change it. Maybe "Aperture AI" may also have been a previous name - i don't know.

Who said she wants to die?
It seems also as the most obvious answer that Chell killed GLaDOS against GLaDOS' will.
