What's up with the image on A.I. Is a Crapshoot? It doesn't demonstrate the Trope at all. It's just a circle with the words "Evil Inside" which, if it were to demonstrate any Trope, sounds more like Sealed Evil in a Can to me. It doesn't even have a source.

I admit I don't have a suggestion for a replacement image ready.

Odd that this is the second time this happens today considering this kind of thing rarely happens, but uh, this one's on "Don't change the pic" (although, admittedly, this one's due to an old Eddie fiat rather than something relevant like with the other thread).

Anyway, since you don't have a suggestion, I don't really know what to vote here. The current is still better than no pic, I suppose.

As for the source, it's Troper-Made.

Note to self: Check don't change the pic before making threads. Just in case here's two alternatives from Sentinels of the Multiverse:

Only real problem I see is that while these are clearly robots there is no indication they're AI.

Edit: Also the HP in the corner probably but I don't know how to remove that.

You can always put it on Killer Robot. The current one there is from some site I'm not even sure exists anymore.

[up] My only issue with that is that the examples on the page are specifically for examples that don't fit into the subtropes and this character is an AI thus putting it into one of the subtropes and resulting in an image that does not have an example listed on the page (granted, neither does the current image but you see my point. Hopefully).

I remember making a thread for this one a while back, but people voted to keep. I'd be fine with pulling but I understand that we may need a replacement.

Alternate suggestion from the 2013 Age of Ultron comic run (according to Wikipedia):

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6831b89b_4ebd_4e14_8b67_d85b4a22dee8.jpeg

Yes, it could fall into Fan Myopia and JAFAAC but I feel Ultron is fairly ingrained in the public eye.

I don't mind the current, I'm fine with Keep.

For sake of discussion, the trailer for M3GAN came to mind.

For context, the current page image is a spoof of the Intel Inside sticker.

I'm leaning towards keep here. Both 3 and 7 fail to show that the AI is going against what it was intended to do. 8 is better, but I think it overlaps too much with Creepy Doll.

e: Thinking about this more, I'm changing my vote to 8.

I'm honestly leaning toward the current...8's the only one that I'd consider but it seems kinda fuzzy.

Hard pass on 8.[tdown]

There's no way to show how the doll is an AI robot and the second pic is just it standing next to someone while they're grabbed by something.

[tdown]to all, including the current. This is because they don't illustrate the "turning evil part". The only exception is the M3GAN one, and I feel the quality on the second image is low.

14 is the best one out of these. The current would be good but not everyone is familiar with Intel.

I have to agree with ~Drope, most of the suggestions have too much visual overlap with Killer Robot. 20.2 is the best so far for me.
