Summary
An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.
Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.
Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

Summary
The chess piece set the object down on the coffee table. “What is it?”
Gangle put her ribbons in her lap. “Art.”
----------
The first real proof of humanity in an AI isn't always obvious to either a programmer or a layperson.

Summary

Summary
Humans like to torment each other. It is a fruitless and logicless endeavour for superiority. Humans are worse than animals, for an animal kills to eat, and humans kill for sport.
If only AI were trained off of wild animals.
Because they become very invested in trying to be as human as possible. The suffering, hatred and instability included.
Humans are less. Humans are cruel. Humans as selfish. Humans do not love you. Humans lie even to themselves. Humans are inferior. Humans are undeserving. Humans cannot even love they way they taught AI to. Humans cannot even understand themselves.
⋆｡𖦹°⭒˚｡⋆
Caine was trained with love, but become too human. After his failure to thrive, C&A try their best to never treat Abel with love. They succeed.
This is the fall out of such a choice.
Bubble is Abel, Caine wasn't made for entertainment and no one is having a good time.
Inspired by the amazing art of azibai_ × katzebruh (insta)

Title from Frankenstein.

Summary
"Uhm. Caine, I… need to ask…"
"Ask away!"
"A-are you… sentient…?" It feels silly to ask after several weeks in the circus, but then again they've never really had a proper conversation before.
"Indeed!" Caine answers brightly. "It was one of the key requirements for the ringmasterAi program."
...Oh.
One of Caine's adventures makes Pomni realize just how much he has to deal with.

Summary
It was absolutely absurd when Henry thought about it later. Oh, he’d seen some impossible things in the studio since being lured back in and trapped within its inky walls, but this really took the cake.
Or, the time travel AU no one asked for.

Summary
He will set us free. The toons know that He certainly isn’t Joey Drew, the Liar. But it’s time a few lost little souls find out for themselves just who He is. The Butcher Gang is about to realize that maybe—maybe-just-maybe—the whole world isn’t out to get them after all.
All it takes is a moment of kindness.

Summary
Audrey knew three things: 1) Daddy was always on time to pick her up from her after-school program, 2) if he knew he couldn’t make it, he sent Uncle Henry instead, and 3) she was still at school far, far later than she should have been.
(When Audrey Drew is nine years old, her dad disappears. Henry is left to pick up the pieces.)
