This isn't very surprising for you all, but I adore Edgar. A lot of A.I. movies don't focus on the idea of romance very often, and even more rarely do they receive a good ending. Electric Dreams has a wonderful amount of cheesiness and sincerity, and honestly it was bound to happen that I'd fall in adoration for Edgar. It's one of the more light hearted movies that I own, and I have no regrets for getting my tattoo of him!
2. Proteus IV (Demon Seed 1973)
This might seem like a surprising choice, but Demon Seed is one of my favorite books that I own. Proteus IV is such a hypocritical bastard, and he never understands the wrongs he commits. He thinks he's better then all of humanity, when in actuality, he sounds like a typical psycho stalker. The movie isn't as great, but occasionally I enjoy watching it if I'm in the mood.
3. HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey 1968)
Again, not super surprising, and honestly I just adore HAL. He came from a super great movie and there's a reason that HAL is one of the most iconic A.I.s. He's also one of my favorite android designs that I've made, so drawing him is a lot of fun! One of my favorite pictures I've drawn this year features HAL doing a babygirl pose, so obviously he's on this list.
4. AM (IHNMAIMS 1995)
Now I discovered AM through the video game like most do, and through Tumblr. Eventually I did read the short story of course, but my heart will always love video game AM. It probably helped that I read a lot writing about him since he's quite popular within the A.I. scene. (At least on Tumblr anyways.)
5. Data (Star Trek: The Next Generation 1987)
Fun fact! I love Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation is one of my favorite series. It shouldn't be any surprise that Data is my favorite character on that show and sort of helped fuel my obsession and adoration for A.I.s, robots, and androids. Star Trek: TNG is really good at exploring concepts about androids and A.I.s, and that's what really intrigues me about all this.
And there you go! My favorite A.I. Blorbos! I know it's been a while since I posted about A.I.s, but I hope you all enjoyed reading this little snippet! (*/▽\*)
Oil Spill Angel that I've just posted! It's still on the starting bid, so if you're interested, feel free to check my toyhouse! I've also got my commissions, so don't hesitate to check it all out! (((o(*°▽°*)o)))
I know it's been a minute since I've posted anything A.I. related, but I'm finally posting about my little baby, Commodore! I got the 3D printed headpiece from this etsy shop forever ago (at least like a year or two). I also just got a headless OB11, specifically the palest one, to match the color of the Commodore Pet on their head. I might do some painting to the body, to make it look more robotic, but for now I'm quite happy! I do have one other outfit running around here, and when I find, I'll do a little photoshoot then! ☆ ~('▽^人)
Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist).
As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.
(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

Ready to fight? I'm ready to fight for side Vampire! (㇏(•̀ᵥᵥ•́)ノ)
God, I'm not even sure why I'm so excited for Art Fight before it's even been announced what the teams are. I mean, Art fight doesn't even happen until July. I've deleted my old account and made a new one just for this year, and I've been adding so many characters!
I also included my designs for the A.I. I write for, so if you guys want to draw them, you can! I mean, y'all can do that at anytime, but you get point! I've got a couple of transformer OCs on my account too, so any fellow transformers fans - this one is for you.ヽ(°〇°)ノ
Also, if you guys want more art in general from me, I do have a Twitter! I recently posted some art for Spider-Verse, so if you want to see that, feel free to check it out! (Not for minors) (¬‿¬ )
