Hell, still happens to present me at 40.

Ursus Ridens

So...it turns out that Iris's day job is with scholarly institution of AI's studying the psychology of meat-people, and which has so far not made all that much progress.

DisClever

High Liz is so far my favorite part of this entire arc. Just the expressions alone crack me up!

Chris Ramko

Iris: Discard the observational data and dry lab it. There was a time….

Sparky

That is truly sweet

Re the AI equiv maturity: May is old enough to get an adult job (if you call convenince store adult). Momo is old enough to work at a Smif library. Deep dive time: How old does an AI have to be to bring themselves to Union Robotics? It serves as a combination doctor and cosmetic surgery.

"When someone is nice to you, it's like your brain shorts out and you don't know what to do"--back in time, twentysomething me is screaming SHUT UP SHUT UP

Graydon Armstrong

- Batten down those cowlicks. Straighten that part. Ungremlinise those eyes, miss. - But I can't! - Oh, sorry, Appleboom.

Stephen Wells

It's partly the addition of the feral grin :) Jeph is clearly having fun.

Stephen Wells

Absolutely feral :)

Richard Lindquist

AITS, it’s perfect! Even has AI right there!

David Paul

Same difference in AI terms.

David Paul

But then she would stop being a goblin and start being a gargoyle.

Joseph Bonnar

Touche, BookBeard. *Grins*

BookBeard

They're not missing though, they're just really enjoying the giant ballpit.

Leak

Just "falsify data"? I was expecting a "make it look like an accident"...

enchantedsleeper

@BookBeard I never noticed that detail. Also, Roko is a mature AI, and I think the list kind of ends with those three. Beeps, Melon, and even Millefeuille are all naiive in their way xD Oh, and Winslow. May is... well, not *mature*, but definitely adult. Pintsize is Pintsize. Oh! Nelson seems pretty mature. With a weird streak, but still definitely mature as far as AIs go.

Joseph Bonnar

The short brown person you mentioned walked into the fourth quadrant and was never seen again, Opus.

Orion Rhine

Where do I sign up to join the Appleboom Institute? I love studying tsunderes.

Ryan Barber

i’ve never felt so uncomfortably seen

Onyx

Jeph *HAS* to enjoy drawing troll eyed Liz peeking everywhere!

Onyx

RED TROLL EYES IS MASSIVE TROLL. Also, Liz has Iris's number lol

panpolypuff

I do not. 😂

Opus the Poet

And the short brown person in the floor-length lab coat. Liz isn't the only child prodigy in Cubetown.

Mitsuki Ayane

oh no, Liz high becomes science gremlin and starts making sense. ~<3

SpookyPenguin

Liz uses GremlinScience! It's super effective!

Uniquitous

So much good Lizface

Fart Captor

LMAO Also Iris could lurk on my balcony any time, if you know what I mean 😏

Daryl Sawyer

lmao, I can't get enough of Liz's face in panel 6.

Andrew

So Iris’ face is actually Siri’s butt?

Jeremy Oreskovich

Check out the balcony above Moray's speech bubble in the first panel: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4935

Todd Ellner

Iris could have had her deep algorithms trained last Tuesday, and she'd still be too old for Our Gremlin

allanfranta

We need Liz stickers! The eyes! The lurking!

Sean Kinlin

Thank you, Sir David AttenBonnar.

Sean Kinlin

Gremlinize those gremlin eyes.

Sean Kinlin

Sure, you just have to reverse the polarity.

BookBeard

Turning Siri into Iris is easy, just flip it around.

Maurice Kessler

Been there.

Joseph Bonnar

Once again we see Gremlizabeth stalking her prey, this time the wild Iris, and not the domestic Marten. Her maxed out stealth skill is coming in handy! (She was seen (sneaking) before this page.) https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4970

BookBeard

Nope, they just missed each other. Yay left the shop a mere 5 strips (probably minutes, if not seconds) before Liz returned. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5241 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5246

Matt Donaldson

OMG the gremlin eyes!

LH

have we seen Liz and Yay in the same room before?

BookBeard

She already annoyed Bubbles, which seems to be a requirement for academics in that field. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3656 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3668

BookBeard

I think that AI have, quite sensibly, simply done away with the idea that age in any way maps to maturity. Yay, as you say, is about two and yet is remarkably immature (as Roko enjoy pointing out). Momo is at least twice that age, appears much younger, and is probably one of the most mature AI in the cast aside from Bubbles. Also, side note: there is something called "Turing-Diaz Questionnaire 7B" which measures AI equivalent maturity for purposes of employment, seen in #2726. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4675 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3161 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2726

Andrew

Is it possible to replace Siri with an Iris personality? Asking for a friend

Yelling Bird

If I had a daughter, she'd be a total Liz.

Emma Humphries

I had to look up the term, and all this time it meant Lizzie Bennet.

Sean Kinlin

Liz has her very first case study.

Jeremy

Aww, Liz is poised to do cutting edge AI psych research.

Opus the Poet

Not associated with this comic, but this is a comic I have a link to on my blog: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1145

Sammitch

Someone once told me I was a tsundere. I thought about it objectively, got embarrassed, literally said "it's not like I'm trying or anything" unironically, got even MORE embarrassed, and stormed off while dying inside. I think they died laughing. Not like I care or anything. <_<

Sean Kinlin

TBF, Iris could prefer being outside alone, even if she doesn't enjoy it.

Pejo

I need to go back to the Willow werewolf frame & see her angry mind blown 😁

Munchkin Threats

I love Iris so much. She is me in robot girl form.

Not that Patrick Foltz

(⁠ ⁠╹ᴗ╹⁠ ⁠)

Pejo

I'd love to see Jeph dig into this in the future. We know Yay is like 2 years old but don't really know what that means (though we do see it in their personality a little). What about Bubbles? Is Faye dating a 5 year old? A 35 year old? A 105 year old? How analogous is human aging to AI aging?

Doc Gumby

Nice.

Azrux

Liz is my new favorite menace

Gaelen McFadden

That smell of weed! Those gremlin eyes! And all who heard should see them there, and all should cry, Beware! Beware! Her redded eyes, her piecing stare! Weave a circle round her thrice, And close your eyes in a deep prayer, For she shot jello shots with dare-r And drunk the milk of Paradise.
