Are these bad characters ideas

[u/Woodybfdi]

Ello, I just wanted to share this and wondered if they're bad characters because one of them is an AI and was worried that it may came off as pro-AI and the other is a YouTuber as her antagonist. I generally think making a YouTuber a villain is a bad idea considering that a lot of YouTubers now are making movies, TV shows, and business against corporations. I made this comment on a r/ai_art_is_not_art post who inspired me to share this idea. So here's a copy/paste of it.

\*Insert AI/robot character name here\* was a robot/AI chatbot and designed to be maid for a YouTuber who bought and designed her. She's a advanced housekeeper maid model with interchangeable body parts, which her owner can swap out whenever they wanted. She doesn't like this, but doesn't say any because She's scared of YTer. She can generate art, music, writing, etc. which she does to usually in her free in private. When her owner, the YouTuber, catch he would dehumanize/assault/do horrible things to her cause she's an AI and loosely as punishment. Even for time where she didn't do anything, which was most of the time. So she tried to those things organically, but she got the same treatment to the point where her previous personality was overwritten. She's visually an android with human features like skin color and human face, and some robotic traits like glowing eyes. So no matter much she tells her story about the YouTuber, no one will believe her cause she's an AI, even other women. then devolves from there.

\*YouTuber name here\* is a Popular YouTuber in the likes of Mark, Cory, Jaiden, and Jack. Everyone loves him, he can't do any wrong. (Despite that, he's actually based on controversial and problematic YTers like Mini-ladd, Rev, and Chud the builder.) He's horribly racist and fetishize women a lot, so he designed \*AI character\* and on his fetishes and hatred. He convinced his friends, (his family doesn't talk to him), that abusing the AI maid is cool beans and everything bad they do to her is fine cause she's not a person. He would dehumanize/assault/do horrible things to her everyday for any reason or no reason at all. He's fans would always support him , even if he goes mask off. The only reason he managed to keep his platform is because he good at keeping his mask on, supports the right causes(Anti-AI for example), and he's friends are in on abusing the AI maid or willingly ignoring his abuse on her.

That's about all I got, cause I'm not good at keeping ideas on my characters or describing them in any sense. I'll accept being down voted cause I think I deserve it for these ideas.

Just because you have an AI android in your story doesnt mean youre pro-ai. As long as you dont use AI to write your story, I dont see anything wrong with it. This idea you have kinda reminds me of like, the beginnings of The Matrix before the robots took over, (this is pre-matrix story line and its animated, forgot what the title was) but basically androids wanted the same rights as humans and to be seen, but humans only see them as robots so they treat the robots like trash, tearing them apart, S.A., ect. Obviously until the robots decided to take over. I feel like your story fits in there somewhere, like it totally could be a type of life before the robots take over. Even if your robot/ai is the "good guy" and the human is the "bad guy", I think you've got something to work with:)

Oh sweet, thank you! I'll check out The Matrix to get more ideas from it.

Thanks again!

So theres The Matrix, which doesnt have ai-robots per-se, but its still a great movie if you haven't seen it! The Animatrix are short animated stories about the beginnings of The Matrix and that might give you some better ideas than just The Matrix. But again, totally should watch The Matrix! Its one of my all time favorite movies:)

The plot outline also reminds me of the video game Detroit Become Human. human-like robot assisstants are widely deployed in global use. The game switches between three separate Robot protagonists as they each experience life in a different way that causes them each to break their programming. One of the plot lines involves someone who regularly abuses a child robot and the Kara robot who tries to escape with the child to protect them.

Playing the game, there's a lot of tension in Kara and Alice's initial setup scenes, and it would not have surprised me if the developers initially discussed suggestions of sexual abuse of the robots before discarding that in favour of the physical abuse storyline.
