Last week, we embarked on an exciting exploration of artificial intelligence in fiction, our discussion seemed to echo through a surprisingly quiet chamber. So, to reignite our conversation and delve deeper into the collective imagination, I'm presenting a recap of our top ten AI characters in fiction. This time, I invite you to share your thoughts, preferences, and rankings. Who resonates with you, and why?
HAL 9000 ("2001: A Space Odyssey") - The calm yet menacing presence aboard the Discovery One spacecraft, whose actions raise unsettling questions about trust and control in our relationship with AI.
Data ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") - The endearingly logical android with a golden heart, whose journey is a testament to the quest for humanity within the circuitry.
Samantha ("Her") - A personal OS with a capacity for emotional growth, challenging our notions of love and connection in the digital age.
The Terminator ("The Terminator" series) - A relentless cybernetic organism that symbolizes our fears of technology overpowering humanity.
R2-D2 and C-3PO ("Star Wars") - The dynamic droid duo providing comic relief, loyalty, and bravery in a galaxy far, far away.
Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - A being of immense power and profound moral compass, caught between his AI origins and his quest for humanity.
Roy Batty ("Blade Runner") - The leader of the renegade Nexus-6 replicants, whose poetic contemplation on life and death invites us to ponder the essence of our existence.
Ava ("Ex Machina") - A captivating AI whose intelligence and motivations blur the lines between machine manipulation and genuine self-awareness.
GLaDOS ("Portal" series) - The wickedly humorous and cunning AI that tests the limits of human ingenuity and resilience.
Ultron (Marvel Cinematic Universe) - A creation with a twisted vision for world peace, highlighting the potential perils of AI unchecked.
Now, I'd love to hear from you. Which of these AI characters do you find most compelling? Is there an AI not on this list that deserves a mention? And most importantly, how would you rank your favorite AI characters in fiction?

Expand commentI’m a voice over actor looking for remote gigs. Gigs I can do at him. I have an advanced microphone and software on laptop. I like to connect and network with producers who handle short , simple TV/ Radio Ads/commercials/announcements that are remotely. I tried other voiceover websites but they cost too much and I have not gotten any luck from doing auditions. I am stuck. I don’t know where else to go or turn too. I’m tired of waiting around doing nothing without results. Please help me.

@Joseph I also dig black & white film. Will be doing lot’s of experimentation this year with view to Vintage Noir. Being no “Techie” or Gadget Wizard myself will be liaising with camera crew members to get look I want.

that's awesome I was recently doing a Seminar on the power of using actual film rather than video for 8th to 3rd students. That was a challenge in itself but use a light reader when working with B&W the best time I recommend would be a golden hour it doesn't overexpose the footage. Happy filming
