Danni should write a book on how to break AIs.

Now, really, this is getting ridiculous. Just how many friends can one person *possibly* have, anyway? I mean, D watched its favorite human, ever, work *really* hard to get and maintain just one friendship and here’s what’s-her-face claiming all kinds of people to be her friend. Nonsense.

Haha, that fits the look. The AI is all “wut… srsly?”. Hopefully it trusts friends more than it hates enemies or it could mark Dani as an enemy for being friends with the enemy.

Suppose it helps that it seems to still be playing erbana, such a person should be quick to accept new friends or at least demote enemies to neutrals.

Kat gave D a strict command to make sure Danni stays safe. Technically in reference to Danni’s real body, but I don’t think D discriminates. As such, I don’t think it’s possible that he could mark Danni as an enemy.

Makes sense, assuming the AI is D. It also makes sense that he couldn’t stand by and let the AI harm her even if he could tell the difference between IRL and virtual since ending the game for her would be a threat to her IRL.

Could the ‘AI’ controlling Kat be D?

My thought exactly ^^

I’d say it HAS to be D, since would Kat really allow some random crap AI to take over for her?

Jake: “Wait, you can use *words*? And it just *works*?”

Can the (assumed) AI talk? If so, this would be a good time to ask Danni “What about the “ghost” over your shoulder – is he your friend too?”

AI Kat can talk – they responded to Danni asking why they were going down the path in the first place.

“Okay; I’ve got this hot potato in my hand and I need a place to use it. Since you’ve made those two off-limits, that leaves only one place left…” 😉 🙂

Aww, she wants to hit him anyway.

Either (a) Jane turns up, and of course “She’s my friend, too!” (whereupon Jane does a double take and maybe even recites one of her modified nursery rhymes), or (b) Danni then says something to the effect of “But feel free to take out that lot!” (gesturing to Snowman’s team).

When do we cut to a scene of Jane making a snow angel in what is left of the swowman?

Grisly and childish. It fits her perfectly.

Did she actually save them or set herself up as a threat/target?

Kat’s AI isn’t supposed to respond to words at all, so what’s probably happening here is that D usurped control of the character. He was operating under the protocols of “Protect Danni, stasis everyone else, let Kat sort it all out later”. Danni protecting them has made him really confused.

The AI is capable of verbal chat. It’d be a rather crappy AI if it couldn’t talk. 🙂

Here, this page says she won’t talk much since Kat didn’t. Though it has been mentioned several times that the AI is acting weird which has to be hinting at D.

Specifically, here is where the Kat AI does in fact start talking ( http://navcomic.com/not-a-villain/page-753/ ). It responded a bit there, but only to Danni, and rather briefly, but it did respond.

Waiting for someone to tell her ‘Danni, that’s not friendship. that’s a harem.’ Really good thing they aren’t being recorded now lol.

“No, don’t attack him, Kat! He’s going to be in my harem.”

And then the team kills Bandit, Dude, and Danni while the AI sits there twitching at the contradictory input.

*enemy team

*Snowman (the others are stoned)

KATAI: You’re kidding me, right?

The facial expressions are cracking me up here, well done.

Love the look.
That’s definitely not a normal AI look, I doubt they have that kind of persona depth.

AI thinking: Seriously? You’re friends with the French guy too? You have VERY LOW STANDARDS…..and if I find you calling a Tenka rep a friend I’m gonna blow this place.

What does Kat have in her hand in the last panel? Does anyone know that? 🙂

It’s what she’s been using to petrify the bad guys. It’s probably amber.

LOL that expression of severe doubt….

if the camera’s were on the shippers would be going nuts

My daughter uses “ship” with those same meanings.
It drives me nuts since she usually does it without any context and of course I go with the dictionary standard because everyone else I know has used it that way for my entire life!

To make it worse, my daughter often uses the wrong words for things just because. It’s not that she’s using new slang, it’s just that she has a few communication issues and sometimes just grabs the first word that comes to mind.
(Even for us parents that can get really confusing.)

Just think, it’s an AI that got us through 2020. 😛
