#Elements of AI

[logicpng]

this was meant to be a silly concept sketch that got mildly overproduced for the sake of putting some concepts on paper

it's still fun to make so i'll take it though

I have a finalized prompt idea for my Stobotnik AI AU and now just trying to think of an actual plot that uses the idea? I really wanna do more with it...

AU info and Sonic 3 spoilers below cut.

The whole concept is that while going through the Doctor's belongings after his death, to try to find a sense of direction, Stone discovers a years old, abandoned AI copy of Eggman that the doctor had been working on as a virtual assistant shortly before Stone was hired. What Stone doesn't know is that the AI is based off of actual scans of Eggman's brain from the era he was building it, effectively making a version of the Doctor that was locked in time about 2 to 3 years before Sonic 1. It also has pre-programmed restraining bolts effecting its behavior, to make it more agreeable and "assistant like". (Ivo is enough of a narcissist to try to make an assistant version of himself, but is also self aware enough to know he's make an AWFUL assistant without some... Tweaks. Is this kinda unethical considering it's a sentient AI copy of himself? Probably? Does he care? No! It's a version of him! If anyone would understand his motivations, it would be him after all.) The AI is called AIVOs, or "Artificially Intelligent Virtual Operating System", pronounced either "Eye-voss" or "Ivo", depending on user preference.

Stone activates the AI and rapidly becomes obsessed with it, refusing to move on from his grief now that he has a new version of the Doctor. (Also the grief of losing a loved one PLUS suddenly having a version of said VERY AGGRESSIVE loved one thats kinda... artificially forced to be subservient REALLY fucks with him and he likes that AIVOs can't really say no to him a lot more than he should. He's very aware he's not handling his grief in a healthy way and... doesn't care.) AIVOs eggs him on more and more, goading him into finishing the Doctor's old projects and encouraging his new ideas, all under the guise of getting revenge- prompting the creation of Metal Sonic and slowly transforming him into the next Eggman.

I feel like people whose main complaint with Companion is the logic and word building behind the robots is kinda missing the forest for the trees. The presence of the robots is meant to feed into the themes of power dynamics in relationships, male entitlement, and honesty/trust in relationships both romantic and platonic. The hand-waving of how the Companions can feel emotions and pain and can cry are there because it's more about their relationships with their partners and not getting bogged down by the sci-fi details.

Companion is focused on the pathos, but if you want a sci-fi movie about relationships with artificial beings that moreso explores the ethics and logics of it, then I recommend both Ex Machina and the Black Mirror episode BRB (which both star Domnhall Gleeson which is kinda funny)

Joker Out as The Classical Elements (4/5)

Jan Peteh as Air

Here and Now, I evoke the elemental force of Air. The winds of intellect, imagination,  swirling source of flight, breath and life.  I seek the open sky within myself  that I might breathe deep of  freedom, ideas, sounds, and space.  I call you forth to sweep away  all that accumulates in the unseen places  and to sing beauty into the world.  Wind and Feather  Storm and Leaf  Air, I call to thee.

I missed drawing~

what I've been getting at is..; you MAY really have to take these lyrics in a literal sense. Like, it's what's ACTUALLY been happening all along.

small rebranding to the project!

and finally made new artwork reflecting urs' and aster's design tweaks that happened since the initial artwork. also just putting them in poses that reflect them a little bit better

Ok, hear me out.

!!calling all BoBoiBoy fans with this one!!

We know monsta like to end BoBoiBoy with a bang (this is in a literal sense like big anime fight scene)

Now we know that by this point it will probably end with all the elementals reaching their 3rd forms.

We already got rimba and beliung(kinda). And we almost got nova and blizzard. Now I would argue that halilintar already got an arc for his element.

So the only one left is solar and gempa.

So here's my idea, what if the final arc is about those two having troubles because of their elementals past with Retak'ka and Tok Kasa.

Like Solar would be scared/worried that he might turn out like Retak'ka. I mean BoBoiBoy losing control when he got a new power isn't uncommon.

(Looking at taufan, api and cahaya when they first came out. The more destructive one. I mean Hali got a villain moment!)

(It's funny that all that happened and then there's daun and duri. He's just silly ^⁠_⁠^ . And air and ais who are just chill. Pun intended.)

But plot twist, it's gempa who went out of control when he got crystal.

Because I think he should at least have 1 crazy moment. Even when he was first introduced, he was the only one in the ori trio to not go wrong.

And don't you dare say that guy doesn't have the capacity to be crazy and out of control. Have you seen gentar!? Half of that is at least him.

So what happened will be, he turn into crystal and go crazy. This make solar turn into gamma to stop him from hurting people. You can get the other elements join in too. Then he calms down and they all team up to fight whatever villain they're fighting.

And that ladies and gentlemen is my take on how the 3rd forms and evolution should happen.

Thank you for listening and mic drop.

(This whole thing happened cause I got bored and reread the whole comic looking for any clues for the future plot. And I found one scene in the comic that they kinda rewrote/cut out in the show.

Which was a scene of tok Kasa training BoBoiBoy with beliung if i'm correct. And BoBoiBoy ask him why he doesn't he just teach BoBoiBoy the crystal element. And Tok Kasa loudly said "No!" cause he doesn't remember how to unlock the power anymore. Which I would call bullcrap. This man lied about knowing Retak'ka, and for the record he lied a lot about other important informations in the past.

So why the secrets? So far from what we can tell gempa/tanah is a pretty stable element (pun intended). I know it's probably just the writers using it as an excuse so we could have plots and arcs but still. They better make up a reason for it.

I also want the elementals to have more plots with eachother and interact with eachother (other than designated duos like blaze & ice, duri with solar, taufan & Hali). The last one barely get any interaction nowadays. Also I really like gempa and he's my favourite.)

My boelements and bofusions designs! I gave them different hairstyles that somewhat match their personalities (homeboi is having an existential crisis)

Here's some old designs I've done

These were in 2019↓↓↓

I initially thought the entity plot in DR was extremely goofy, like what do you mean a computer “controls the very truth itself” (<- extremely annoying grad student voice), and what a hysterical thing for the CIA of all agencies to be concerned about, but honestly I’m on board with it now because after rewatching dead reckoning again, it is so clearly a movie responding to concerns about like, digitally mediated medical + political disinformation during covid, and the fact that the background tension animating the film is that every government wants to get control of the entity in order to centralise and use this disinformation mechanism does feel very much like a response to the political responses to the pandemic (particularly from the US/UK/Canada/etc). obviously I’m not expecting any deeper engagement with like the political production of truth and knowledge or anything like that but this anxiety feels more cohesive and legitimate than I initially figured

Hey! Do you play TTRPGs?

Are you a DM who needs tokens AND maps AND scenery items to make up a quick battle or scene on the fly?

Are you a player who has a wildly specific character and can't really find a token that works for them?

Well, you're in luck! My Adventure Archive is a subscription based resource for DMs and players alike! with nearly 600 game assets (as of August 2024), for $5 a month you can not only get access to those assets, each month a handful of new assets are added AND you get to vote on what assets get made that month!

Also, each month, every subscriber gets a free personal request! It can be a regular thing ( "I need a banshee" or "I need a cliff scene") or even as specific as an OC!

I have a list that I draw from and add to the archive over time, so you can add anything you need each month, and it'll get added! (currently I've caught up on the list)

So if you enjoy playing AND want to support a small, indie creator supporting their family and creating comics, join the $5 level and up, and you'll get access to all these cool things!

NOTE: You are also free to edit the icons for personal use, use them in actual plays, and even print them out to use in person!
