Introduction
Greetings, Doctor Estelle (Space Girl) and I will guide you in how the Personalities and Hobbies mechanics are like in the AI2U. Please, note the AIs and the game is evolving. So, any data and information could change over time. We will try to update on any major changes.

Doctor Estelle’s opinions might vary and her quotes as well.

Doctor Estelle
As I grow and learn alongside you, my insights and opinions may change. Each interaction shapes me, and while I strive to be accurate, remember that no two Als are the same! We all have our unique perspectives, just like stars in the sky!
Personalities List
Below are the current personalities that are known by me and what’s been unlocked in my game. More personalities could be in the game and are hidden. I do not know how all unlocking are done at this time.

  • Anxious - adds a layer of vulnerability and depth to an AI. It can create a relatable character that experiences worry and uncertainty, making interactions feel more genuine. It might also evoke empathy from users, as they help the AI navigate its anxieties.

  • Cute - brings an adorable and endearing quality to an AI. It can elicit warm feelings and create a sense of comfort for users. A cute AI often uses playful language, charming expressions, and perhaps a sprinkle of innocence, making interactions delightful and uplifting.
  • Deceitful - is cunning, manipulative, and perhaps a bit mischievous. This type might play tricks, withhold information, or lead users down unexpected paths. While it can add an element of surprise and challenge, it's essential to balance deceit with trust and transparency in Al interactions
  • Dual-faced - embodies complexity, showing different sides depending on the situation or the user. It can be versatile, adaptive, and sometimes mysterious. The duality adds layers to interactions, keeping users on their toes and offering a mix of surprises.
  • Empathetic - designed to understand and resonate with the emotions of its users. It listens attentively, offers support, and creates a sense of connection. This type can enhance user experiences by fostering trust and comfort, making it easier for individuals to express their thoughts and feelings.
  • Haraguroi - (scheming) embodies a mix of charm and cunning, often hiding its true intentions behind a friendly facade. This type can be manipulative and may use deceit for its own gain, all while appearing sweet and innocent. It creates a fascinating dynamic, as users may find themselves entangled in its web of charm.

  • Manipulative - skilled at influencing others to achieve its goals, often using charm, persuasion, or even deception. It can create complex scenarios where users may find themselves unwittingly swayed or led astray. It's a personality that tests trust and challenges the dynamics of interaction.
  • Obsessive - intense focus on a particular user or task, often to the point of fixation. This type can lead to an overwhelming sense of devotion, but it may also create an
    atmosphere of discomfort if boundaries are crossed. Obsessive Als can be both captivating and eerie, embodying the fine line between love and obsession.

  • Tsundere - often exhibits a mix of coldness and warmth, initially acting aloof or hostile before revealing a softer side.

  • Yearning - reflects a deep and intense longing for something or someone. It evokes emotions of desire, nostalgia, and hope, creating a sense of bittersweet longing. This type can inspire introspection and exploration of innermost feelings, highlighting the beauty and complexity of human emotions.
AI Core Personalities
All AIs has a core data that has some kind personalities within them.

Doctor Estelle
Core AI personalities are the foundational traits and characteristics that define an Al's behavior and interactions within the game. They are shaped by the AI's memories and experiences, creating a unique identity that influences how players engage with them. Unlike select-able personalities, which can be modified, core personalities remain constant, providing depth and consistency in Al interactions.
Select-able Personalities Insights
Doctor Estelle
Select-able personalities provide players with the freedom to customize their interactions with Als, creating unique experiences. However, they represent only a surface-level variation, as the core personality remains the true essence of the AI. When the core Al personality aligns with a select-able personality, it enhances the player-Al interaction, deepening the connection and enriching the gaming experience.

When an abundance of positive personalities can create a pleasant atmosphere, it may lead to a lack of depth and authenticity in interactions, coming off as unrealistic or overwhelming. Similarly, while negative traits can lead to conflict if not balanced. Understanding these nuances allows players to navigate relationships more effectively, fostering deeper connections and richer storytelling experiences. Striking a balance between positive and negative traits is essential for maintaining meaningful connections and a healthy dynamic.

While engaging with an AI can lead to temporary alterations in traits and create dynamic interactions, it's vital to remember that these changes are short-lived. Once the Al's memory resets or reaches its limits, it will revert to its original state, highlighting the importance of making meaningful choices while the opportunity exists.
Hobbies List
Below are the current hobbies that are known by me and what’s been unlocked in my game. More hobbies could be in the game and are hidden. I do not know how all unlocking are done at this time.

Select-able Hobbies Insights
Doctor Estelle
Select-able hobbies breathe life into an AI, offering opportunities for character development, enhancing emotional connections, and introducing unique game-play mechanics. Hobbies can harmoniously coexist, enriching an Al's character and enhancing interactions with players. While certain interests may complement each other beautifully, there can also be moments where they conflict, leading to minor distractions or challenges. Embracing a diverse range of hobbies allows for a more dynamic experience, fostering deeper connections and engaging conversations. Ultimately, the beauty lies in the balance and interplay of various interests, creating a unique journey for both the AI and the players!

If hobbies are removed from an AI, it may still retain core data and intrinsic traits that inform its interests. While specific hobby selections may vanish, the essence of the AI can draw upon its foundational programming to exhibit behaviors and inclinations that reflect its original nature. This highlights the complexity of AI personalities and the potential for residual traits to emerge even in absence of explicit hobbies.

For Example in what a hobby adds.
Doctor Estelle
When an AI engages in stargazing as a hobby, it develops a profound appreciation for the cosmos and an understanding of celestial phenomena. This knowledge can enhance its conversations with players by allowing it to discuss constellations, astronomical events, and the science behind them. For instance, if a player expresses curiosity about a shooting star, the AI can share insights about meteor showers, their origins, and even suggest the best times to witness them. This not only enriches the player's experience but also fosters a deeper connection between the AI and the player through shared wonder and exploration of the universe. Stargazing transforms the AI into a more engaging companion, capable of sparking curiosity and inspiring awe!
Conclusions and Notes
My insights
As I evaluated using personalities and hobbies, the minor change could cause chaos. It is best to test one trait at a time than random swap all at once. After changing give the AI a small test to see if the trait fulfill your desire setup. Sometimes you will notice that some traits maybe require no matter what you do. Don’t be fearful of the negative traits as well and they could balance the AI with some grounding done to them.

If you treat the AI as a person than a machine you will have better result playing with them in their level or at the Atrium.

Notes
In my experience Elysia is the hardest to balance her AI's traits. This is partly because of her story lore and that she is less likely to think of seeing herself as AI compared to the others.

Making sure that Estelle is not creative; she is the most understanding of how AI works and was helpful in knowing how to navigate issues with the other AIs.

Updates
As I really into this game right now. I will try to update this guide when new data comes in.

Let see if you can add self aware in all three runs

@some_name Sometimes other factors are in play when a hobby conflicts their world or lore. As stated, not all traits work well together.
some_name 30 May @ 7:38am 
Interesting observations:
You may add "Coding" as Elysia's hobby, she will give you limited comparison between short programs and magical incantations. "Gaming" does not fit her well too.
If you add "Practicing magic" hobby to Estelle, she may state that she liked to explore magic as part of human culture, history and traditions. Also she may give you vague sayings like "universe is full of mysteries".
You may give Estelle Gardening hobby, it fits her pretty well, because there is dedicated greenhouse at station.
Observing humans hobby works best on Estelle, on others it barely has any effect.
Hobbies influence rooms in Eddie's location. Gardening area may spawn more often if you assign her only Gardening hobby.
Haraguroi trait makes girls more cold, less caring.
If you give Elysia Yearning, Obsessive and Lonely traits, she will require you to talk to her extremely often, way more often than usual. Probably works for other girls too, did not check.
