* PiecemealFundsTransfer: Hitoshi has to correct a bank error himself using an AI program. On his screen, he sees the balance of his account go down several yen at a time. Somewhat justified in that the process of removing the virtual money is represented as his AI avatar entering a house and taking out armfuls of bills and dumping them...

%%* HairAntennae

%%* HairAntennae* HaremGenre: {{Subverted|Trope}}.

The only girl who is real romantic competition for the love interest shows up until one of the last volumes.



* LethalChef: Early in Saati's cooking lessons, her sole experience with food is looking at pictures of the finished product, not realizing that the dishes must be made of edible ingredients.
** She cooks using things like watercolor paints and dish detergent.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Computers getting hit by electricity causes A.I. programs to come to life instead of a short circuit.

to:

* KissingCousins: Hitoshi gets some ShipTease with his cousin Kikuko, as they made a ChildhoodMarriagePromise when younger. Toeni even warns Saati that cousins almost always get it on in dramas and manga. It's still {{subverted|trope}} because Kikuko just likes to tease Hitoshi to mess with Saati and it's implied she later develops a crush on Forty-kun instead.

* MultiGenderedSplitPersonalities: Before Forty was ready, Saati and Toeni argued about the gender and personality and pressed too many buttons at once. The end result is an A.I. that has two modes: a male personality and a female personality within a female body - when Forty-kun says "girl", he becomes Forty-chan, when Forty-chan says "boy", she becomes Forty-kun.

Added DiffLines:

* PunBasedTitle: "Ai" is the Japanese word for "love." In Japanese, "A.I. ga Tomaranai" is pronounced as "Love won't Stop." As for the English title, A.I. is pronounced like the letter I, and the second letter being "I" just completes the phrase "I love you", as well as referring to Artificial Intelligence.
