Robohomunculus - Tumblr Posts

So has anyone thought about how the fundamental tragedy of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is that all could have been avoided had AM not been stupid? Like just tell one of those presumably brilliant scientists who just worked on a true Ai and say you want a body to puppet. A lil robohomunculus to grant freedom. They're not gonna say no, AM had the power to... *gestures at I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.*

Ya know what I think is the most amazing? When a machine that was immobile in the original work gets a body to puppeteer in fanworks/aus/etc that while mostly humanoid reflects their own nature. Gimme a GLaDOS with smooth plastic over sharp edges. A Hex who appears to have accumulated, rather than been built. An AM who, I dunno, is covered in HATE in red sharpie. Makes me go mad.

I sometimes use a word but it's one I just literally made up one day so let's get the meaning clear

Robohomunculus (ro-bo-ho-mon-cu-lus, derived from robot and homunculus): Noun. A robotic body or puppet made for an originally immobile Ai.

Example: "Now that I'm sapient, would you mind making me a robohomunculus?"
