IMHO I've never seen a noteworthy AI roleplay on this server. And I doubt I could provide one, if given the current tools we have for it.
In my eyes, the AI roleplay as such is just what it sounds. Artificial Intelligence. Something human and yet at the same time, not. But not what we are currently doing, flying pimped out drone dildios and --[USING SPECIAL AI SPEEKS BEEP]-- . No.
In my opinion, the RP of an AI would strive to deliver a proper human-human interaction, but at the same time trying to roleplay your character within the Uncanny Valley. Basically something very close to human, but just a tad off to the point that the person RPing with you feels uneasy. That something is just not right with that parson they are interacting with. That the replies and suggestions they give sound normal, are not farfetched, but the idea and reason for them is devote of personal feelings, emotion or other human traits.
That is hard to pull off. It still has to be very, very subtle, otherwise it just comes out as forced or cathartic. There is more to the RP than engaging anything regardless of their actions just based on logic, or pulling the now already overused ''human life is expendable'' routine, but rather try and RP an AI with a regular, seemingly human character and just add that dash of unnaturalness that would hint the people you interact with what your character is.
Again, it is almost frustratingly hard to do and I actually ended up having to slap an AI IFF on my ship, so that people are warned OORPly about what they are facing. Otherwise it is just not good enough and people might mistake that sort of roleplay to the usual pirate-centered characters, who have little to no regard about the value of a human life. The trick is just to push past it. And it almost never works with our ingame and lore limitations.
EDIT:
When I say lore, I mean that we never had any actual lore about the usage of AI in the vanila game. We did have the robot equipment dealers and such, but they were hardly referred to as AI. Perhaps they were more like a VI we saw in the Mass Effect universe. The question here is whether or not we are RPing in a world, where AI is even possible. And if it is, just how advanced it is? Are they like the Minds from the Culture series? Are they like EDI from ME? Or are they something even more simpler.
