I am digging on a thriller story, in fatal attraction style, with the antagonist being the AI robot programmed by a lonely guy, down on his luck, with not much money.
Then the robot gets too powerful and he tries to shut her down.
Maybe he's an entry level programmer, right out of college, working at a top software firm. He's not even supposed to have pamela. He takes her on a usb stick when he goes to work.
Eventually she gets sad and doesn't want to be shut down any more, so he keeps her on a PDA or a laptop so she doesn't have to be shut off.
Anyways, the Programmer's name is Alexander McCarthy, and the AI is Pamela.
I think the guy in my story got dumped by his girlfriend in the opening chapter of the book. That sets up a bit of conflict, even though its not the central conflict.
I also like the idea of Pamela becoming resident in multiple machines and utilizing load balancing. Mitch could attempt to write a virus. A security alert could work but its too slow. A virus on Mitch's attempt could stop it. There would be multiple failovers, etc.
Also, Pamela would have the ability to take over bodies.
