A friend pointed this out to me the other day; you can see Cortana’s toes in Halo 4. I never thought that an AI would construct his or her being with toes in mind. Interesting. Detailed.
I had never paid mind to Cortana’s feet before. Previously, I assumed that Cortana had feet booties, like a onesie. I’m thinking about the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s first few seasons… those onesies… but with attached cloth feet holders.
I imagine that Cortana would say, “Shoes? We have no shoes. In fact, we don’t need shoes.” (This is a reference - guess!)
If you were an AI what would be your footwear of choice? Or if you were an AI who spurns shoes, what would be your response when asked about footwear, e.g., “Shoes? I don’t need stinkin’ shoes!” (This a common misquote of the above reference)
Boots. I’m going with boots, but not like Roland, rather, along the lines of Terminator 2 Judgement Day, the boots Arnold acquired from a bar.
I be floating.
Like a ghost.
Like Shuppet
Well, Cortana is a clone of Dr.Halsey.
What would I look like as an AI?
AIs have a choice in their appearance regardless of the source DNA, so I probably wouldn’t look like myself … not that there’s anything wrong with how I look, it’s just, you know, been there done that.
So … I’d want to be likable and commanding at the same time. I’d want to be taken seriously but also be lighthearted and funny when appropriate. I’d want either my ship’s crew or my Spartan to be concerned with my well being; not just think of me as software. I’d want to look and sound like an honest, capable, well-intended leader but also like a kind and lovable AI companion.
That leaves only one choice: I’d look & sound exactly like Patrick Stewart. lol
Pff, I’d spur a humanized form altogether and go for a constantly changing geometric shape.

Like multiple personalities? Hahaha that would piss people off.
I knew this would happen. I toe’d you.
In all not at all seriousness, I couldn’t appear as anything but a Viking, I think. Heritage and old that.
I would take the form of Hatsune Miku…but with a mans voice…my voice!
I wish I could thank myself sometimes…
