Wheatley (Portal 2)

Caine (The Amazing Digital Circus)

Monika (Doki Doki Literature Club)

Wheatley supposedly had his mind altered when he was put into Glados' body, but I dont recall that ever being stated in game. I see him turning of Chell more as him just doing what he was made to do: making the worst decisions possible. Keeping Chell in the facility was the worst possible decision he could have made considering the fact that it lead to him getting thrown into space.

Im sure we're all sick of seeing Caine here after the massive wave of discussion he got in the days after episode 8, but I feel like the discussion is warranted with how interesting his character is. In a previous comment discussing Caine, I claimed that Caine was evil. I no longer agree with this sentiment. While the things he does to the players are terrible, its done less out of malice, and more so a childish mindset of "you hurt me, so I get to hurt you." Its clear Caine dosent understand humans, and it seems his ignorance stems from his having no desire to understand them. He was designed to create, and all he wants in praise and validation for what he creates; so when he doesn't get the praise he desires, he throws a temper tantrum because he doesn't understand what hes doing wrong, and he dosent \*want\* to understand what hes doing wrong because hes an insecure narcissist.

Monika was an AI that became aware of her "reality" and desperately clung to the only thing that made her feel real; the player. She manipulates the other girls' code under the belief that they're essentially NPCs, incapable of feeling and somehow lesser than her despite the fact that the only thing separating them is their awareness of the world, and Monika being able to alter the world. Monika alters the code of the other girls to make them less desirable to the player: making Sayori more depressed, Yuri more obsessive, and Natsuki more abrasive. Though, Monika didn't seem to understand just to what extent this would effect them, as she didn't seem to plan for Yuri stabbing herself in front of the player. By the end of the game, Monika still loves the player - despite them deleting her - and saves the player, as well as the other girls Sayori gains the same awareness and obsessiveness Monika had after she becomes the Literature Club president. (it has been a very long time since I thought about DDLC, so some of the info here might be a little wrong, but hopefully I got the main idea across.)

How would you rank these AIs from least to most evil?
