Line 136:
** [[Portal 2]] gave us Wheatley, who's at the low end of "Average Joe Android" and was supposedly designed to be a moron in one of many attempts to make GLaDOS behave.
*** Aw, heck, a lot of the machines in Portal 2 (including the Enrichment Center itself) either belong or are treated as though they belong somewhere on the scale.
**** And there really isn't any way to tell where the Companion Cube is ( [[G La DOSGLaDOS]] does claim that it is sentient, after all).
* ''[[Command & Conquer: Tiberium|Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun]]'''s CABAL is definitely not a God-level AI, but is almost certainly above Human-level, despite apparently being not much more than a tactician and strategist. EVA is little more than a Brick right from the first Tiberian game to the last, and LEGION from Tiberium Wars is a [[Silent Protagonist]] somewhere between Brick, Human and God depending on the player. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGFi2hJDw5E#t=37s Scrin Motherships] are definitely at Nobel-Bot level ''at minimum''.
* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' interestingly gives us all five in varying degrees. fal'Cie are literally God Machines capable of complex thought and philosophizing; then you have machines like the pulsework knights that only serve a single function. We see a group of hulking Juggernaut robots late in the game that normally operate like 1s but turn into 3s in order to protect one of the party members.
