I was just at Starbucks in SF ordering an iced latte. The cashier asked if I would like to "round up" my purchase to support a local non-profit.

The non-profit was OpenAI.

# Portrayals of AI
People sometimes read a bit too specifically into my bio "Building a kind of JARVIS".

I name JARVIS in general terms only, as one of my favorite popular portrayals of an AI - a helpful, conversational, empowering e/ia automation. An aid against evil and entropy.

In personality, I much prefer and love TARS from Interstellar. I love that TARS is funny, quirky, and sarcastic. But you can tone down that down to "dry" if you like. That said TARS (with a few major and notable exceptions) is portrayed a bit too much like a comic relief sidekick instead of a pervasive, helpful and active problem solver.

The movie that best explores emotional depth and connection with an AI is undoubtedly Samantha from Her. I find this to be a very prescient movie because not too long ago, AIs have been thought of and portrayed as primarily highly calculating and logical entities incapable of understanding human emotion (think: Star Trek et al.). I think it's becoming very clear today that these will turn out very wrong, and that the future looks a lot more like Samantha from Her than Data from Star Trek.

The movie that most touches on the creative dimension of AI is maybe Sonny from iRobot, but in general I think this dimension is dramatically underexplored territory.

Honorable mentions
My most favorite unaligned AI is, of course, GLaDOS :) And sticking with Valve for a moment, shoutout to Dog from Half Life 2.
I also recall really enjoying Legion of the geth in the Mass Effect series.

So TLDR all of these have aspects that feel right and desirable - a blend of personality of TARS, a creativity of Sonny, the emotional capability of Her, and the technical problem solving capability of JARVIS.

Curious what are people's favorite portrayals of AI and why?
