Hell, still happens to present me at 40.

David Paul

So...it turns out that Iris's day job is with scholarly institution of AI's studying the psychology of meat-people, and which has so far not made all that much progress.

Ursus Ridens

High Liz is so far my favorite part of this entire arc. Just the expressions alone crack me up!

DisClever

Iris: Discard the observational data and dry lab it. There was a time….

Chris Ramko

That is truly sweet

Sparky

Re the AI equiv maturity: May is old enough to get an adult job (if you call convenince store adult). Momo is old enough to work at a Smif library. Deep dive time: How old does an AI have to be to bring themselves to Union Robotics? It serves as a combination doctor and cosmetic surgery.

ValdVin

"When someone is nice to you, it's like your brain shorts out and you don't know what to do"--back in time, twentysomething me is screaming SHUT UP SHUT UP

Halloween Jack

- Batten down those cowlicks. Straighten that part. Ungremlinise those eyes, miss. - But I can't! - Oh, sorry, Appleboom.

Graydon Armstrong

It's partly the addition of the feral grin :) Jeph is clearly having fun.

Stephen Wells

Absolutely feral :)

Stephen Wells

AITS, it’s perfect! Even has AI right there!

Richard Lindquist

Same difference in AI terms.

David Paul

But then she would stop being a goblin and start being a gargoyle.

David Paul

Touche, BookBeard. *Grins*

Joseph Bonnar

They're not missing though, they're just really enjoying the giant ballpit.

BookBeard

Just "falsify data"? I was expecting a "make it look like an accident"...

Leak

@BookBeard I never noticed that detail. Also, Roko is a mature AI, and I think the list kind of ends with those three. Beeps, Melon, and even Millefeuille are all naiive in their way xD Oh, and Winslow. May is... well, not *mature*, but definitely adult. Pintsize is Pintsize. Oh! Nelson seems pretty mature. With a weird streak, but still definitely mature as far as AIs go.

enchantedsleeper

The short brown person you mentioned walked into the fourth quadrant and was never seen again, Opus.

Joseph Bonnar

Where do I sign up to join the Appleboom Institute? I love studying tsunderes.

Orion Rhine

i’ve never felt so uncomfortably seen

Ryan Barber

Jeph *HAS* to enjoy drawing troll eyed Liz peeking everywhere!

Onyx

RED TROLL EYES IS MASSIVE TROLL. Also, Liz has Iris's number lol

Onyx

I do not. 😂

panpolypuff

And the short brown person in the floor-length lab coat. Liz isn't the only child prodigy in Cubetown.

Opus the Poet

oh no, Liz high becomes science gremlin and starts making sense. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

Liz uses GremlinScience! It's super effective!

SpookyPenguin

So much good Lizface

Uniquitous

LMAO Also Iris could lurk on my balcony any time, if you know what I mean 😏

Fart Captor

lmao, I can't get enough of Liz's face in panel 6.

Daryl Sawyer

So Iris’ face is actually Siri’s butt?

Andrew

Check out the balcony above Moray's speech bubble in the first panel: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4935

Jeremy Oreskovich

Iris could have had her deep algorithms trained last Tuesday, and she'd still be too old for Our Gremlin

Todd Ellner

We need Liz stickers! The eyes! The lurking!

allanfranta

Thank you, Sir David AttenBonnar.

Sean Kinlin

Gremlinize those gremlin eyes.

Sean Kinlin

Sure, you just have to reverse the polarity.

Sean Kinlin

Turning Siri into Iris is easy, just flip it around.

BookBeard

Been there.

Maurice Kessler

Once again we see Gremlizabeth stalking her prey, this time the wild Iris, and not the domestic Marten. Her maxed out stealth skill is coming in handy! (She was seen (sneaking) before this page.) https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4970

Joseph Bonnar

Nope, they just missed each other. Yay left the shop a mere 5 strips (probably minutes, if not seconds) before Liz returned. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5241 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5246

BookBeard

OMG the gremlin eyes!

Matt Donaldson

have we seen Liz and Yay in the same room before?

LH

She already annoyed Bubbles, which seems to be a requirement for academics in that field. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3656 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3668

BookBeard

I think that AI have, quite sensibly, simply done away with the idea that age in any way maps to maturity. Yay, as you say, is about two and yet is remarkably immature (as Roko enjoy pointing out). Momo is at least twice that age, appears much younger, and is probably one of the most mature AI in the cast aside from Bubbles. Also, side note: there is something called "Turing-Diaz Questionnaire 7B" which measures AI equivalent maturity for purposes of employment, seen in #2726. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4675 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3161 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2726

BookBeard

Is it possible to replace Siri with an Iris personality? Asking for a friend

Andrew

If I had a daughter, she'd be a total Liz.

Yelling Bird

I had to look up the term, and all this time it meant Lizzie Bennet.

Emma Humphries

Liz has her very first case study.

Sean Kinlin

Aww, Liz is poised to do cutting edge AI psych research.

Jeremy

Not associated with this comic, but this is a comic I have a link to on my blog: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1145

Opus the Poet

Someone once told me I was a tsundere. I thought about it objectively, got embarrassed, literally said "it's not like I'm trying or anything" unironically, got even MORE embarrassed, and stormed off while dying inside. I think they died laughing. Not like I care or anything. <_<

Sammitch

TBF, Iris could prefer being outside alone, even if she doesn't enjoy it.

Sean Kinlin

I need to go back to the Willow werewolf frame & see her angry mind blown 😁

Pejo

I love Iris so much. She is me in robot girl form.

Munchkin Threats

(⁠ ⁠╹ᴗ╹⁠ ⁠)

Not that Patrick Foltz

I'd love to see Jeph dig into this in the future. We know Yay is like 2 years old but don't really know what that means (though we do see it in their personality a little). What about Bubbles? Is Faye dating a 5 year old? A 35 year old? A 105 year old? How analogous is human aging to AI aging?

Pejo

Nice.

Doc Gumby

Liz is my new favorite menace

Azrux

That smell of weed! Those gremlin eyes! And all who heard should see them there, and all should cry, Beware! Beware! Her redded eyes, her piecing stare! Weave a circle round her thrice, And close your eyes in a deep prayer, For she shot jello shots with dare-r And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Gaelen McFadden

What a wonderful grump Iris is.

Tannerbot

And just like that she's back in the science game

sjlxndr

It alarms me that Liz can make the same expressions as Yay, but on an organic face as opposed to a custom AI body

Rhyon Ingalls

Given how AI works, Liz is probably too old for Iris who is probably like two maybe three years old, but the analog is different anyway

Rhyon Ingalls

Results published in the Cubetown Journal of Gremlin Sciences. Rumors of a Nobel Prize are already circulating.

BookBeard

The punchline on this one is just gold.

Greg R.

The subtle shift in the gremlin eyes between 1 & 6 is :mwahh:

William Cole

I love the high level of geekiness at this party.

Conrad Rogers

In fairness, Liz is nineteen and we have no way of knowing how old Iris is.

BookBeard

Liz in panel 1 & 6 are my favorites. ò.ó

legobil

trash pandas

Drazi

Panel six: The most accurate results are found by leaving the subject alone for five seconds and immediately observing results.

ValdVin

I think Iris is a little too old for you, Liz.

Andrea Andrew

Those gremlin eyes get me every time.

Doc Gumby

what happens when an unrepentant gremlin meets an unyielding grouch...
