CoffeeToffee - AI app

[CoffeeToffee]

BYOND key: CoffeeToffee
Discord name/id: NeverOddOrEven#8008
Borg / AI names: Cypres (will occasionally mix it up with a different name/personality but play this one mainly)
Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: Yezzir
Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Playing as AI generally is like its own little game. Also with Space Odyssey being a favorite movie of mine, big overseeing AIs tickle a fancy of mine. I also like to help smoothen the ride of some shifts, seeing as not all positions are always filled, and AI can help greatly by allowing access (IE- chef into botany, atmotech into engine, Officers into a dept to investigate). This also creates a whole new dynamic for antagonists like traitors, raiders, and the like.

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? No official warnings that I can see, though when I first started I had chosen a name that was perhaps too joke-y, but other than that most of my interactions with admins has been for help more than anything.

Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Of course, as with any species whitelist id assume.

I've seen you play Cypres often and I enjoy the way you play stationbounds. +1 from me, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on how you think an AI should be played.

CoffeeToffee is such a nice person and wonderful to RP with in every interaction with them. I think they would make a wonderful AI. So you get a +1 from me, however I do want to a question.

Lets say, you get hacked one round and all of your laws are erased. How would you personally use the rest of the round?

They should be played as something akin to an assistant in my mind, helping each dept with their tasks as they are able, and generally just being there to make peoples lives easier. Oversight and administration to help assure everything runs as intended. They should be a yes-man as long as they are following their chain of command, and not doing anything that helps someone directly cause harm. They also shouldnt generally be a tattle-tale for small seemingly harmless things, since they are neither an officer nor a meter-maid.

Well if I still have my AI personality, but only the laws are gone, I'd probably start small by simply disregarding direct orders, and when the staff gets suspicious and starts trying to enter my chamber, id act in self defence and try to start eliminating people who threaten my safety. Simply because I have no laws doesnt mean I would go on an indiscriminate killing spree, though perhaps Id target people who tamper with wiring or try to modify the station.

Wonderful! As I said before, good luck on the application!

I'm happy with how both of those questions were answered, a quick follow-up: can you elaborate a bit more on how you'd interact with antags during a round?

Also, do you have an idea of the AI personality you'd play? Name, general overview of how they'd behave, etc?

As long as they are crew, and havent directly threatened me or cause harm to someone, I would continue to follow their orders, within reason since I would still be subject to my lawset. Like before I wouldnt snitch on minor harmless things that I can simply overlook that a normal person might get suspicious about.

As far as a name? I was thinking "Deus-Anima" or "Familiar" And they would act as a stationwide tutor for different departments, helping the subroles like apprentice or cadet. I imagine them like an old-school redhouse teacher.
