* [[Early Installment Weirdness|In the first episode of the Pokemon anime]], Ash's Pokedex seems to have some AI, making fun of him when a Rattata steals some of his stuff, but this has since completely disappeared. |

* Played with by Hex, Unseen University's [[Clockwork Creature|clockwork]]/[[Magitek]] AI from the ''[[Discworld]]'' novels. Though ostensibly mechanical in origin (it works by having ants run along a network of glass tubes, with punch cards redirecting the movements), it is portrayed as a conventional AI character, complete with self-preservation and [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]. |

** Ponder Stibbons has explained, possibly in order to convince himself, that Hex isn't actually ''thinking'', it just ''acts'' as though it does. Archchancellor Ridcully's response was "Just like everyone else, then." |

* AGNES, from ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' (original series, "From Agnes -- With Love"). A rather silly story about a mainframe computer who falls in love with a programmer of the Mortimer Snerd stripe, who goes cackling insane in response to the machine's confession of her feelings. Disappointing to modern sensibilities in that there are ''so'' many more interesting things that could be done with such an intriguing premise; disappointing in general in that it's a bit silly for the programmer to lose his mind like that, when AGNES is more or less his whole life anyway. |
