I don't think any of them count. The automatons were just extensions of Ribbons and Veda. The bugs are some kind of funnel tech. And i think i heard somewhere that the Rafflessia and Iron Mask's mask were specifically made to control them. And the bio brains are literal human brains cloned and programmed to think and act a certain way.

A Haro with an advanced super AI based on an ace pilot with superhuman reaction speed and spatial awareness strapped to a cockpit equipped with a Zero System and the scariest and most versatile funnel-type weapon available for attack and defense available.

As a kid, that Sandrock scene made me appreciate the Sandrock for selflessly sacrificing itself to let Quatre escape, also showing that unlike the other AC Gundams, only Quatre and Sandrock had a mutual connection to each other. And it hit more since I saw Wing before the Iron Giant.

Didn't Wufei also have a connection to Nataku? and Duo with Deathscythe? from what I remember from Wing (Not that much, I was half asleep for half of the show) only Heero gave no shits about his mobile suit.

Wing Zero appears to have diverted the final shot and woke Heero up in Endless Waltz. Heero and Zero regularly talked to each other. Wing Gundam? Hell no.

[@vustvaleo8068]

Crossbone Gundam had the Bio-Brains which are robot clones of the Jupiter Empire's president Crux Dogatie along with one unit based on the late Amuro Ray, meanwhile Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise had Alus, an A.I. created by an extinct human-like alien civilization of the planet Eldora who is pissed that his masters were replaced by furries who now became Eldora's new sapient species who were originally the planet's animals/fauna going through evolution and Alus wants to exterminate them because he hates furries? lol.

[@traphimawari7760]

Alus seems kinda based ngl

[@AzraelThanatos]

ALUS isn't entirely an AI from some of the expanded things, the old Eldorans evolved from biological to uploads to wander the universe. ALUS was left behind with restrictions to protect/safeguard Eldora from potential invaders...which the New People forced the situation leaving ALUS with no real choice there when combined with being left alone for who knows how long there. the epilogue and Build Divers Rize point to the El-Divers being Eldorans that got dragged into the G-Network. ALUS being reformed into an El-Diver shows that he's the same, meaning Cuadorn might be one as well with their connections broken when the planet was attacked and the theory that Eldora was abandoned due to being attacked and pretty much left in ruins with most forced to leave because, at the time, the planet was uninhabitable.

[@xx-qv9tp]

Not gonna lie, I’m on Team Alus lol

[@AzraelThanatos]

@@xx-qv9tp Yeah, while ALUS was out there it was more due to isolation and blocks that forced a path, once another became actually available ALUS took it and was reborn in the end.

[@26th_Primarch]

Honestly, the various Build series need an entire set of videos dedicated to breaking down their... Uniqueness...

[@KuruniXD]

In Iron Blooded Orphan G game, there's a scene with another MA (Harael). At first, it focus its attack on Hajiroboshi, but then we have a glorious flashback from Harael's POV showing Hajiroboshi in its original form (Marchosias) beat a crap out of 2 Harael at once. The intersting part is that Harael seems to display fear upon recognized Marchosias (the sensor on its wire arm turns off after the flashback) which doesn't make sense (but incredibly cool). Since Vistario and co only fight Harael's wire arms (plus Pluma), I guess what's going on is that after recognized Marchosias and access the old memory, it just give up to preserve the main body (which is still trapped out of sight).

[@kimbertactpro9]

[@QuintusAntonious]

Here's my head canon for why learning computers didn't catch on: The Learning Computer was one of several competing systems (for example, the EXAM) the Earth Federation was putting their focus into as an equivalent to Zeon's research into Newtypes. The idea was that the computer could help gravity-bound pilots fight in space where they were disadvantaged against the spacenoids. But once Newtypes emerged, it became obvious that these systems were not as good as the raw intuitive abilities of a Newtype and so after the war when Zeon and the Federation's top scientists merged, research moved towards 1) development of technology to enhance or unleash Newtype potential like the psycommu and eventually psycho frame, and 2) cyber Newtypes. Some side research, of course, continued into it, but it never got the focus of Newtype-oriented stuff.

[@trollinoakenshield9822]

In char deleted affair, federation fitted their GM with amuro combat data derived from learning computer, those GM even overwhelmed char in his gelgoog.

[@OrigamiShinigami]

Cool theory! I'm inclined to agree

[@ShiangShi-dt1dc]

minovsky particles interfere with development of ai. to create something similar they had to create a bio computer literally organic brains in a jar (google translated images this way maybe this is not correct although creator of exam was a doctor by specialty and according to hints he was needed for maintenance which in my opinion is even more creepy I hope this a translation error).

[@ivanbluecool]

Those mobile dolls are definitely some of the most terrifying weapons ever made. You could wipe out a whole army of them and nothing would change they would have more. Then they can destroy you. Imagine the 00 ending where all the kamakaze units are all just mobile dolls? The world would basically end so quickly with that power. Though that scene was already scary showing how disgusting the human lives would be with kamakaze tactics Best one is definitely ain. Goes from ain to ai and beats both the protagonist and antagonist of the series with ease. Joke btw.

[@AzraelThanatos]

That depends, you also have Gundam Aquarius that would eliminate Dolls with impunity. Of course, if you want a nightmare scenario, skip the basic Mobile Dolls and the disaster when Wing Gundam Lucifer hijacked them, because Lucifer is a heck of a lot worse and has an upgraded version of the Zero System built into it that's based off of the command version mixed with the original type...and Lucifer was full on psychotic.

[@arx3516]

There's a limit on how much mobile doll drones you can manufacture. And i don't think they're cheap, losing a bunch of them will surely be a setback for your military force. Besides, in mecha anime it's all about the skill of the pilots, the second episode of Getter Robot Armaggeddon is a good example of that, where Ryoma Nagare, on board of a 1st gen Getter Robot was cutting through an army of AI controlled Getter G, like an hot knife through butter, things got serious only when they combined into the Shin Dragon.

[@twelfthknight]

There are some small things shown in the original MSG that were smoothed over after Sunrise returned to the Universal Century for Zeta and beyond. One of them was a Lost in Space-esque robot that could be seen working as a child caretaker in Jaburo's school/daycare. Which, if you think about it, when HARO is as sophisticated as it is - for a toy - then surely more complicated AI-driven robots existing for other societal functions would be pretty normal. However, when we get to Zeta, life in the UC is much more styled directly on 80's Japan and the technology got a more gritty aesthetic that precludes the existence of Asimov-ish robots.

[@DeamonChocobo]

I believe you missed the Automatons from the Second Season of 00, the small anti-personnel War Crime Drones used by the A-laws. Also, while I'm not sure about the specifics of the Crossbone series, would the Bio-Brins be considered AI? I know the ones inside the Divinidad were closer to straight up clones, but apparently the the one inside the Amakusa was created from the data stolen from Amuro's OYW Core Fighter which would suggest its an advancement of the RX-78's Learning Computer.

[@gundamboy96]

The NT-D is probably an AI too. It does essentially use the pilot as a processor while it hunts down Newtypes.

[@SwiftGundam]

Not necessarily. Just following a set objective programmed into it. No need to give it the capacity of thinking beyond that.

[@bramastoprasojo2843]

Doubt it has any actual intelligence but probably more like our current AIs just rather efficient and quick programs.

[@granmastersword]

@@bramastoprasojo2843 that should be the case with the description given by the Unicorn's "Unchained Mode", where the NT-D system takes full control of the Gundam to fulfill its Newtype destroying purposes, using the pilot like a processor

[@OrigamiShinigami]

Like Mobile Dolls, it's a weird line between personalities like Hachi, Alus, Haros (they show empathy or assessment of feelings and temperature, if not being very bright or motivated) and mobile dolls, Devil Gundam, and so on. You can talk to a Haro, ALICE, or Hachi. Can't really talk to the DG or Mobile Doll army, except perhaps by them relaying AV feeds to humans who send a "cease-fire" signal or not.

[@digitaleva]

What about the Bugs from Gundam F91? They were, admittedly, very basic, but I'd count them as AI weapons.

[@OrigamiShinigami]

I'd lump them in with bits, funnels, FANGs, DRAGOONs, and so on. Iron Mask had kind of cyborg'ed himself up, and my assumption is with Rafflesia being a massive e-warfare carrier first and fighter second, he was parallel-processing and "piloting" several Bugs at the same time. Automated for sure, but on a slightly different scale than the AIs presented here.

[@ohiodoesntexistordoesit]

I love the introduction of the mobile dolls cause they hyped them for ten seconds before Trieze RUINED them with a single Leo and a well spoken speech

[@arashitendou5941]

It’s also the case that proves a point of how bad automatic weapon systems are Trieze is a charismatic and thought provoking leader Tuborov is a manic, psychopathic, and obsessive narcissist Proven further with the subordinates and people around they have around them Trieze has THOUSANDS to maybe MILLIONS of loyal soldiers, engineers, etc Tuborov only has the rich non-military “nobles” in Romafeller Foundation and what subordinates he directs are either traitors in disguise (the guy that lead the theft of Libra for White Fang), crazy themselves (Trent), or are ultimately loyal more to Trieze and OZ then him or the Foundation

[@SunriseOfRaven]

A small addition I’d argue to put on the list is the actual Gundams from IBO. On multiple occasions they seemed to respond to the pilots from verbal commands and even made responses. The pilots even talked to them on a multitude of occasions. Would make sense to fight horrible AI MAs with AI assisted MS.

[@KuruniXD]

It is most likely react to pilot via Alaya-Vijnana System. In Iron Blooded Orphan G, Asmoday doesn't remove its limiter during the fight against Harael because its cockpit is replaced with Enzo's. Now, Hajiroboshi is an oddball since it doesn't use Alaya-Vijnana either, but showing highly automate function (such as blocking a surprise attack that Vistario didn't see coming) but sometime not responding to its pilot. It alsoremove limiter during the fight with Harael (Marchosias mode). But the story is far from over.

[@akhdannaufaldy1693]

Like how Barbatos responded to Mika's words

[@draochvar9646]

​@@KuruniXDYea, Marchosias/ Hajiroboshi is a weird one but I suspect it does carry an on-board AI. The thing with the Hajiroboshi is that is was rather Extensively refitted and deviates pretty significantly from its original Marchosias layout, so the integrated AI is most likely a later addition, probably to keep the frame's performance without turning pilots into vegetables.

[@BigWired]

Ohhhh, okay, that really clears things up with the original RS-78-2! See, for years, I thought it was Amuro controlling the Gundam via a remote on his suit in the final battle with Char, and not the Learning Computer taking control. Pretty damn impressive too that it had learned enough to have Amuro’s skills to the point of shooting down Char’s mobile head.

[@Supercohboy]

One confusing note about that last scene with the Gundam. I believe Amuro talks about that experience (fighting Char at the end of MSG) in Zeta or ZZ or something. He talks about that moment and there's a flashback iirc, but Amuro says that he programmed the Gundam to do what it did. However, I think that Kakarot's interpretation of that scene has roots in canon someplace as well, I'm just not as familiar with it. Either way, the Learning Computer was mentioned even in the flashback bit that I remember seeing, and it's understood that Amuro may have quickly activated some macros before exiting the Gundam, but the Learning Computer is what timed the final shot and accurately tracked the Zeong head.

Idk if this applied to all G Generation games but in Portable, I love how the Zero System influenced the pilot's morale bar, giving it a longer "Low" portion, nerfing the pilot a bit, but it skips "Normal" morale and straight to "High"

In cross rays it increases the tension bar so you start in timid but much more quickly get into high, unless you have tenacious at which point it keeps the original bar but instead of activating the buffs from the zero system at super high it’s now activated on high.

[@andrewowens4421]

Maybe not an A.I. but more along a command sequence input. I'm sure most mobile suits are programmed to recognize certain voice inputs and react to them, but they don't learn. Those commands are just routine things they go through.

[@Supercohboy]

@@andrewowens4421 iirc this was a bleeding-edge 90s tech homage that hasn't aged as well. Voice-activated technology was very popular for a while in pop sci-fi, and real-life simple voice commands were being used in a lot of tech from the 90s to the end of the 00s that either inspired anime or was inspired by it.

So it may be ai but if anything but imo it's Marion subconsciously lashing out when someone uses the EXAM system.

It kind of seems like one could argue that the OS does function similar to an AI in the sense that it seems to handle balance and movement adjustments needed to keep the mobile suits upright, given how much faster one of the pilots was moving once they OS was installed on the Astray shortly after her lackluster performance days prior

Mobile Armors from IBO series are literally nightmare fuel because of their speed, strength, durability, and precision AIs, and the only way to combat them is with the 72 purpose-built gundam frames. As seen in the series, normal/mass produced mobile suits would never be able to beat a single mobile armor.

[@draochvar9646]

I think it's less about other suits not being capable of doing so (a lot of the more current-date suits probably could manage it, if enough of them ganged up on the AI) the Gundams just have a far easier time of it, since they have a far more responsive control-interface and literally pack twice the energy output. Give a bunch of grunts A-V style interfaces or Hajiroboshi type AI support and they'd probably make for a very competent MA execution squad.

00 Also had the backup AI that Chris and Feldt slapped together when Sumeragi suspected Veda was compromised.

[@GundamFireStorm]

Cool video! I think AI has to play a huge role in hoe a mobile suit functions. Even down to the first mobile workers. Tou need some sort of smart adaptive program to tell the mobile suit how to step and move and adapt its feet and weight distribution to the terrain. What about the G bits from Gundam X? I know AI and Newtype shenanigans are pretty hard to distinguish. It's a big topic! Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@DankRedditMemes]

Missed opportunity to have used the Bandai RX-78 Gundam computer instead of that IBM 5100.

[@r.zacharian2126]

i most interested on IBO Ai for the mobile armor. they are at base similar to an animal that only follow their instinct/programing but with time, Harael shown to develop feeling of hate(or maybe fear) to Marchosias and is able to recognize him despite it's new identity as Hajiroboshi. and the Gundam themself shown to have a level of sentience with Barbatos and Hajiroboshi responding to their pilot who also treat them like a living being.

[@draochvar9646]

It's important to note though that the Hajiroboshi's degree of AI autonomy and responsiveness is unique amongst the Gundam Frames, which suggests that it was an addition to the Frame, not a part of the original Marchosias design.

[@spartana1116]

Actually the Bigger MAs are actually intelligent with 2 in urd hunt were coordinating with each other while those like hashmal are just grunts

[@scasimir1000]

If you had to ability to make AI, what AI would you take from a Gundam series and what would you put it in? If you couldn't do mobile specifically or would there be a mobile suit or mobile armor you want to have AI work free? I thought you were going to see this, but if anyone else is a Gundam fan and want to throw some ideas

[@astrochannel3465]

Well, i was thinking that my gundam was a giant alien robot who called gundtronian.

[@lukemccann576]

And the mobile suit it was 3 versions the ground type a space type and an upgraded type

[@sXeAndriex]

I feel like the Bugs from Gundam F91 were probably intended to count. They were autonomous, supposedly self-replicating, automated killing machines. While quite dumb, they were very effective.

[@Al1701]

So, I guess we're just going to ignore Superior Defender Gundam.

[@kakarot197]

Yes

[@deewatsoon6036]

The Mobile Dolls are terrifying... They have faster reaction and coordination timing than the best human soldier can do... The most dangerous of them are the White Fang Mobile Dolls... Even the Heroes of Gundam Wing were overwhelmed by them...

[@KuruniXD]

Just remember this. Gundam Exa manga has a big twist that... . . . . . . There is exactly one human in the whole series, everyone else are AI in the General Answer. They're so sophisticated that they aren't aware that they're AI and few of them even act beyond their original purpose (Fon Spaak and Hanayo). There is slso an irony that the onlt human, Sthesia, thought she is AI at the start of the story.

[@tiercel5561]

The way you described 8 (Hachi) he's pretty much well.... KITT of Knight Rider as he really is the AI of the car, not the car itself.

[@mechamax7919]

what about 8's more advanced variant, 88? didn't that pilot 3 upgraded versions of the Forbidden, Raider, and Calamity gundams?

[@bloodstreak2001]

What about in Gundam build divers those sentient electronic life forms I think those a.i

[@Squiggles01]

There was an Anti-MD Gundam in the AC era! The Gundam Aquarius, it was ment to work together with it's sister unit to destroy MDs.

[@Deathbringer_Live]

I thought the Forbidden Gundam was neat because in high speed mode it almost looked like a Mobile Armor giving the reason the GUNDAM is forbidden, because it allowed for some advanced AI stuff or something

[@animegamesmoviesandotherst3037]

I wonder if the Haro's in Double OO are thier version of astromech droids though they look and act like the ones before. The reason I think they are astromech droids now is the fact they can do small repair/maintenance, and help as support in the Gundams just like the Star Wars astromech droids,

[@CHIPSSALTY]

The Bugs from F-91 are AI controlled shredder against human targets.

[@FuuPhoenix]

were the IBO mobile armors designed by ted faro?

[@eisenklad]

11:05 bruh the captions did Hachi/Eight dirty

[@Panzergruppe22]

16:22 schwarzette with GM-like face is superior in looks imo if only they made two instead of one, for a what-if scenario of tech demo and comparison between AI and gund, it wouldn't be lost forever due to permet disintegration yea I'm biased because I love GMs lol

[@williehawkinsii4845]

Do you have a video of a comparison between the gun system alaya-vijnana system or have you thought about doing one between the two?
