The current image doesn't illustrate anything. Might as well just be a quote.

Some Suggestions

Anyone have any illustrative pictures of Nagato? She'd be perfect for this trope.

[up]Did she ever look like anything other than a normal human, though?

[up][up]The Terminator is probably the most iconic, but I like the Data one, too.

Pulled the "quote" picture. In case anyone is interested. A terrible image example.

I don't think the Terminator fits, since he is just a machine, looking like a human, while this trope is about artificially created beings, who nevertheless behave like a human.

So yeah, i like Data, but I would pick a different picture, one that is less blurry.

Too bad they don't have a cutaway or something comparing Data's flesh face with his robotic one. Its just that while the two heads look the same, an alternative interpretation could be that a normal himan is simply holding an artificial copy of his head that may have made. It's not clear that both the head and it's holder are Artificial Humans.

^^^^^And Yeah, even though Nagato is a digital robot we have yet to see any electronic cut out images of her.

Much much much much better. I'm getting a complete Terminator vibe from this, so its very good and very clear.

I like that one too.

That last image of Data is okay, but needs to be brightened up by a lot.

I think Shima's Data pic is slightly better. But both are quite good.

Ghilz and Rodney's image are much better and much more illustrative of the trope than Shimaspawn's. While shimaspawn's image might be interpreted as some sort of Weaponized Headgear, the second Data is absolutely clear that it's an Artificial Human and leaves nothing to the imagination.

Wait... Isn't Data a robot, and not a human? And the pictures just prove that, he is made of metal.

Data is a Ridiculously Human Robot.

Wait, what's the line between these two trope again?

a Ridiculously Human Robot is has far more human characteristics than they have any practical reason to, often to the point where there wouldn't be any way of telling the difference if we weren't told. An Artificial Human is simply designed to be human-like.

Data is both? (Supposed to be just an Artificial Human but Brent Spiner accidentally makes him Ridiculously Human sometimes.)
