*clanking pots and pans* New bracket! I'm running a new bracket! Submit entries to the new bracket here!

Is your character:

Real?

Organic?

Capable of fitting through a doorway?

From a text-, video-, toy-, or musical-based medium?

If you answered "No" to all four questions, then your character may be eligible for the Best Fiction Podcast AI Bracket coming soon* to sexiestpodcastcharacter.tumblr.com!

There will be preliminaries for any podcast with more than two AIs submitted! Plus any other adjustments necessary** for us to start with a nice even power of two.

*By "soon" I mean May because I'm supposed to be getting ready for a trip now, going on said trip at the beginning of April, and working overtime at the end of April. But we will see where my self-control takes me.

**Usually characters that are from primarily video streaming mediums, such as Critical Role or Dimension 20, are not allowed in my brackets, but if it will make the number of submissions a natural power of two I may allow them, just this once.

No pressure to reblog, but these tournaments inspired this one! @tournament-announcer (okay this one isn't a tournament), @cpu-gpu-smackdown, @killerrobot-killingmatch, @mattapparentlystumbltourneys, @sapient-locations-bracket, @the-robot-bracket, @best-bot-tournament-2023, @roboswagbracket, @robo-swag, @robot-swag-competition, @fuckablerobotbracket, and honestly probably some other ones. What can I say? I love robots!***

***Robots that are more likely to be classified as "robots" than "AI", such as my beloveds AuDy, Thisbe, LEO(h), and even precious Boots who can probably not fit through doorways, are not currently eligible.

Generative AI fans and advocates do not interact! This poll is for fictional characters written and performed with intent only!

What fans say:

Kubo and the Two Strings:

Learn more about the harmful stereotypes of disability in Kubo.

Stop-motion animation is underrated and this movie is such a beautiful example of it.

Amazing action, beautiful family. Reminds me of my own family in the best way possible.

Devastating. The story of family in all its complexities.

Robots:

The hit me baby one more time scene is iconic.

Pioneer Nine

HAL 9000

- A classic and timeless design, and one of the most iconic lines in movie history.

mod notes: *looks at my rule that says characters have to be alive* eh

[robot-riot]

You think you're gonna take us down? Well Mechanical Man you just try it! You're gonna ride that rail out of town cause it's a

ROBOT RIOT!!

Welcome one and all, organical and mechanical alike to the Robot Riot! Here we're going to pit robots and their meatbag pals against one another to see who is the truly superior team!

What exactly does that mean? Up to you! Are they playing Monopoly? Are they fighting to the death? Who knows! Either way it's a Robot Riot! Maybe they're having a joke competition, then it's a Robot Laugh Riot. Vote using whatever criteria you want; I will not judge you. Publicly. Probably.

So before we get to that little submission form, a couple rules.

Each team must consist of 1 robot + 1 organic buddy pal partner colleague etc. AI count, so duos like Master Chef + Cortana or Epsilon + Carolina qualify, and pets count, so duos like Data and Spot or Jimmy and Goddard count.

The only qualifiers are that the relationship must have received some kind of attention from the narrative (ex Boyd and Huey but not Boyd and Dewey), and the relationship must be positive (ex Data and Geordi, Data and Riker) or neutral (ex PotatOS and Chell, Norm and Doofenshmirtz). If you're unsure or the canon is unclear, it'll go to the judges.

I am still on the fence about trios; tentative ruling is if the relationship is strong on all three sides feel free to submit it, but specify which two you'd prefer to submit as a duo just in case I decide not to do trios.

Don't spam submissions! Numbers aren't even going to be the only factor in choosing who gets in anyway so it's not even guaranteed to help, but if I suspect you're spamming one duo I may disqualify them. One submission per duo per person.

One duo per submission! If you have more than one duo, submit them separately, please.

No ocs (sorry), no characters from Harry Potter or Critical Role, no real people.

Submissions will remain open till Sunday, August 13, 2o23, which will give you plenty of time and me a chance to get through my current tournament.

And here's the submission form:

Obligatory tagging some other polls for visibility under the cut:
