That Shodan pic is already on one of the System Shock pages. The current is definitely JAFAAC, though.
On two of the System Shock pages, even, which is why it has its own IPD thread going right now.
Moon◊Ah. Well, it was just suggestion, and the main point of this is to replace the old image.
Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.Current image is JAFAAC, yeah.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHere's some examples I can think of:
The Overmother from Broken Age: [1] [2]◊ [3]◊
Gerdy from Moon: [4]◊ [5]◊ [6]◊ [7]◊
Gilliam from Outlaw Star: [8]◊ [9]◊ [10]
Tachikomas from Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex: [11]◊ (I think this one's my favorite)
Cortana from Halo Combat Evolved: [12]◊ [13]◊ [14]
And of course, Glados: [18]◊ [19]◊ [20]◊
Okay, maybe went a little overboard there, but hey, now we're spoiled for choices, right?

Gonna agree with 6.11 being the best one. 6.15 I'd want to see a still of first, but it's also good.
Check out my fanfiction!Crowner's hooked.
I think it's pretty clear that the Tachikoma pic is going to take this. Should we call it?
8 votes is not that much. Let's wait for more.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanYeah, that's not enough votes to make a 3-day call on.
This one's at 5 days and the Tachikomas still have a commanding lead, so it's safe to call now. Can someone please upload and add the winner? Thanks in advance.
Caption or no?
Up, potholed, tagged. Don't think it needs a caption, personally, but if somebody can think up a suitably witty one, go for it.
Damn, if I had seen this thread sooner, I would have suggested the Tachikoma as well.
Suggested caption:
"What are you reading?"
"Flowers for Algernon"
Or
Hes reading Flowers for Algernon on paperback media. An exchange of cultures is a fundamental of entertainment in any era.

Not really sold on either of those, but I like the general concept.
Yeah I just grabbed from the dialogue from that scene in question. It's fine as it is without a caption.
Let's just hope it's reading Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.No consensus on a caption; locking up.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
Nothing about this says "Artificial Intelligence". It looks more like a strange red Air Vent Escape than anything else, and even that's a stretch. The caption is the only thing that points to it having to do with AI, and that's only because I moused over it.
The only idea I have for an alternate image is the standard image of◊ SHODAN, and even then I feel like there could be better.
But it's leagues better than what's currently the image, that's for sure.
