Have you ever made a human version of kita?

yes!! lately since ive been thinking about her a lot, i came to the realization that in current canon her AI would only be somewhere in the range of 5-10 yrs old at most. im not a tech person so i tend to fudge details, but i think of her initial application being akin to those early chatbots that could barely hold a coherent conversation, and by the time she got advanced enough to learn much more rapidly she also started clinging to bits n pieces of self identification. she used to live in da computer & then noemi would let her bonk around in different little robots until relatively recently when the new body got finished.

all that to say, i imagine shes still very teenish in her behaviors despite having endless trivial knowledge (and misinfo) flooding into her head all the time. part of that is bc she was around noemi all the time when she was also just a teen, partly also bc she hasnt had much experience being 'alive' in the world at large. so i tried to make her seem more teenish here

(the design is not new but just edited- i drew her as a human 2 years ago to jumpstart a more original looking redesign, so it actually slightly predates her robot look)
