Fictional AI Popularity Contest (Winner: R2-D2)

Here we go again, you guys know the drill.

Nominate up to THREE AIs from fiction, this includes, robots, androids, talking onboard computers, holograms, even programs with no real physical form, and the like.

Keyword here is artificial, so it must be man or machine-made. Living minds/consciousnesses that were transferred/copied/digitized into robots/machines don't count.

We start when we hit 64 nominations. If there's enough interest, I may even bump it up to 108.

@gunmetalgrey: SHODAN from System Shock and CABAL from Command & Conquer would be great choices.

@gunmetalgrey:

GORT (the day the earth stood still)

Sunny (I robot)

EDE (fallout:new vegas)

....evil robot from the portal series, I forget if it had a name...the cake is a lie!!!

@gunmetalgrey: @jwwprod:Funny, I thought I was the only one who would nominate her...

Anyway:

1. GlaDOS (Portal)

2. Ultron (Marvel)

3. Bladewolf (Metal Gear Rising)

EDI (Mass Effect)

Cortana (Halo)

@gunmetalgrey:

1. R2D2 (Star Wars Franchise)
2. Robot (From Lost in Space TV Series)
3. K-9 (Doctor Who Franchise)

Wow, I do not know any more AIs from what has already been said.

Bender (Futurama)

Brainiac (If he counts)

The Iron Giant

@rac95: Yea, System Shock 2 is one of the absolute greatest games I have ever played (Better than any game this generation IMO).

And SHODAN is one of the greatest villains ever made.

A 3rd one from me since I only nominated 2 so far: John Henry Eden from Fallout 3.

P.S. I would nominate Brainiac but I think someone else is going to eventually anyways.

1. Wall-E
2. Arale Norimaki (Dr. Slump)
3. Baymax (Big Hero 6)

@gunmetalgrey: Monica (Doki Doki Literature Club)

No one have nominated Vision? So, my first is Vision [Marvel]

@thatlyn_yoaeg_ill_rymmin: Ultron's already in, why not complete the Pym family with Jocasta?

It seems no one's nominated Red Tornado from DC either.

• Skeets (DC Comics)
• Bastion (Marvel Comics)
• The Oracle (the Matrix)

Vox (Jimmy Neutron)

Nanobots (Jimmy Neutron)

Brobot (Jimmy Neutron)

@gunmetalgrey: Please take the names out of the OP. Getting multiple tags. Thanks.

Some of my own potential nominees were already nominated so I thought I'd put in a couple already before I run out..

Decided to nominate the whole Metal Men team since they really come together more as a set than as individuals.

@indomitableregal: My bad, didn't know editing a post activates the tags again.

@gunmetalgrey: All good. It only does that if the names are in the OP.

Oh, and I'll nominate:

Samantha (Her)

Aida (Agents of SHIELD)

Android 18 (DBZ)

@indomitableregal: And that marks only the 2nd anime/manga nomination so far. I was expecting a lot more, honestly..

@revan-: You nominate those guys, but not Goddard?

@gunmetalgrey: Tbh I almost forgot it was an option lol. I'm surprised too.

@gunmetalgrey: o shit, yeah. Replace Vox with Goddard.

@indomitableregal: And they're both from Toriyama, too..

I'd be disappointed if the two most iconic ones aren't nominated.

I could have named a few more....

but we only get three spots, and I thought these were more well known around here.

I am kind of surprised no one mentioned Jenny Wakeman/XJ-9 from My Life as a Teenage Robot.

@Penguin-Dust: There don't seem to be much from animated series in general.

Hopefully someone nominates Atom/Astro Boy and Doraemon.

Jarvis (Marvel)

Danger (X-Men)

No one mentioned Major Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell), Casshern/Casshan, Cyborg 009, Penny (RWBY), or even any of Tony Stark's A.I.'s either.

@indomitableregal: The Major is more human-cyborg than synthetic self-aware intelligence, so I don’t believe she’s eligible. And, Jarvis was mentioned in the post above you.

@Penguin-Dust: The Major is eligible...if you just B E L I E V E. And Jarvis wasn't there when I was typing my reply. Kinda surprised no one said Mega Man.

Cosmic AC (Asimov)

Master Control Program (Tron)

VIKI (I, Robot)

GERTY 3000 (Moon)

Sovereign (Mass Effect)

Lightning McQueen

Jane(Enders Game

B.E.N from Planet Treasure

Aya from GL the animated series

T-800 from Terminator

Gir (Invader Zim)

@gunmetalgrey: Yuki Nagato

@kevd4wg: Eh.. I wouldn't really count Lightning since we don't exactly know how things "work" in the Cars-verse in terms of how they're "born/made".

@payneintheass: So which are your final 3 choices?

@gunmetalgrey: oh, I can only pick 3? I´ll pick them

What if you don´t fill the 64 anyway?

@payneintheass: It's been less than 24 hours since I started this thread and we're already at the 50+ mark. I'm pretty sure we're gonna make it, and not too long from now.

@gunmetalgrey:

Jarvis (Marvel)

Master Control Program (Tron)

Sovereign (Mass Effect)

I think they are the ones with more chances of the ones I wrote.

Tron [Tron] :)

@gunmetalgrey: if there are open slots at the end id like to nominate 1 or 2 others.

Gir (invader zim) and clank (ratchet and clank)

@captain_inverse: Gir has already been nominated. I really only plan to start this on my day off which is still in a couple of days. Plenty of time, I think, for less than 10 slots left.

I'll be starting this in two days and we've still got 8 slots left.

Johnny 5 Short Circuit

Fembots Austin Powers

Evil Bill and Ted

I nominate these three

1. Joi (blade runner)

2. David (Prometheus)

3. Zero (megaman x/zero)

Are any of the transformers considered AI?

@snowpiercer: They're organisms born of the spark, not programmed or created with intelligent design, so I would say no, they don't count.
