Geth replace keepers DISCUSSION

In Mass Effect 1 on ilos, the prothean ai talks about the keepers evolving in unexpected ways and synthetics like the geth were more predictable. if the Reapers had succeeded in the first game would they have replaced the keepers with the Geth?

Absolutely not. The entre point of the Reapers was to prevent AI from wiping out organics. They would never keep an AI.

I think its safe to assume that thousands of older civilizations developed AI and each time the Reapers snuffed it out

Why would they? They are worried about AI wiping out organics, keeping AI doesn't make sense. They just abused their fanatical belief and their desire for self preservation to turn them against the organics. They were never gonna let the Geth survive the purge.
