I suppose it's possible that a race managed to turn itself into AI, because we don't know how long they had - perhaps millions of years of civilization.

However, this race is quite clearly extremely wise. They can't just assume that synthetics will always rise up and obliterate organics. It didn't happen to them. Don't they realise that they have become a race of synthetics who obliterate organics? They claim to be perpetuating life, but all they're really doing is setting it down a predetermined path and eradicating it before it can become advanced.

It is impossible for any sensible race to honestly believe this, so once again, that cannot possibly be an earnest statement of the truth.

Not turned but progressed into digital memory storage. We've seen this is science fiction before in many mediums, it's not hard to comprehend that a race could develop the technology. It would be artificial inteligence based on real inteligence (see Vision from Avengers).

What they feared was chaos brought on by other advanced species. Not as advanced as them but advanced. This is the key point they were making, that organics caused the chaos while the synthetics resolved it, the synthetics in this case create by them. That may be what they were doing but that was their point, don't let it get to a stage where the 'chaos' reaches a level even they cannot contain.

You are basing this on modern thinking. A race far more advanced with technology to do all they did might resort to such a thinking if it thought it the best option, to preserve their own life and help progress the life of less species.

 

The problem with all this though is I am assuming based on my limited understanding of it all. It this that should have been explained in the final scenes, if that scene went of for another 15 minutes of talking, then I sure less people would have moaned.

A case could be made for Bioware's questionable philosophy, but it's not much of a case if they won't allow any scrutiny of it by Shepard at all. A solid 20-minute long scene, complete the ability of Shepard to argue with the Starchild, and an option to say "screw you", would have made it a great final scene. As it was, it was a poorly explained mess which made no sense and was hurried through in an attempt to hide how little sense it made.
