* [[Red vs. Blue]], being a [[Halo]] machinima, uses a modified version of Halo's interpretation of [[A Is]]. For the most part, however, [[A Is]] are neither just machines nor brilliant geniuses—they're just people (albeit usually simplified version of those people, due to most of them being {{spoiler|only fragments of a complete AI}}) and react like anyone else. The one exception, who has really only been mentioned so far, is {{spoiler|the original, complete Alpha AI, who was probably more on par with number 4, which his very brief appearance in season 9 implied}}.

* ''[[Fenspace]]'' has so many androids that there's an in-universe system to classify them. "Class D" are this page's Bricks and Robo-Monkeys, "Class C" is this page's Average Joe Android, "Class B" is mentally indistinguishable from a flesh-and-blood person, "Class A" is this page's Nobel-Bots, and "Class S" is between this page's Nobel-Bots and Deus Est Machina. (There are no god-level AIs in Fenspace. Yet.)

** Most Transformers, though, fall into the human intelligence slot, though the level of intelligence varies within that about as much as it does for humans, with [[Dumb Muscle]] like Tidal Wave on the low end, almost dumb enough to qualify as a Robo-Monkey himself, while the most gifted scientific minds of Cybertron, such as Perceptor, easily reach Nobel-Bot territory.

* XANA from ''[[Code Lyoko]]''. Hard to tell which level he started out in the backstory, but is at least Nobel from Season 1 onward, and is constantly improving, maybe reaching Godlike intelligence by Season 4. [[Gone Horribly Wrong|Unfortunately for us,]] {{spoiler|[[AI Is a Crapshoot|he came to realize early that humans (Franz Hopper) were deceiving him all the time,]] [[Endofthe World As We Know It|so he decided to kill us all.]]}} So... yeah.

** His virtual goons, the Lyoko Monsters, stay all at the level of Bricks throughout the series, though... with maybe the exception of [[The Dragon|the Scyphozoa]].

** On the other hand, XANA's Specters are around Monkey-type at the beginning, and at least Average-Joe level once they start possessing humans; their most advanced form, the Polymorphic Clones, can be rather cunning. (Jérémie's creation—the William Clone --, however, [[The Ditz|isn't so smart]].)
