Calvin and Hobbes. If that counts

Haha you’re giving me flashbacks to micro. I studied Econ as well. That is a good point and an AI that operates by logic in spite of its emotions could be a compelling story, but in my reading (Hyperion, Blindsight, Ancillary Justice) it’s used more of a plot twist than explored as a theme.

As a sci fi reader, the self proclaimed “totally objective, emotionless, logic based” AI character that turns out to not be objective and has its own motivations. You see it coming from a mile away every time because a truly emotionless character would be boring as fuck.
