Well, I sneaked MHA as an obscure in-universe movie franchise in my Hego ficlets, so we also could go the route of that being notorious Japanese toon actor Rikiya Yotsubashi playing the leading role in Doof: The Movie, coming to theaters near you in the summer of 2018.

also HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. That would be the thing that crystalizes everything
If sapient AI's are now a thing that will only become more common, it would be wise to get a head start on how they are handled by the law.
If the American government ends up making laws on the matter, DEI and Wendy may end up being consulted as the expertes who brought about this new development. This would give us a degree of influence on how the laws end up.
On a local level, we could establish a system for giving legal identities to developed AI's. Doof doesn't have the legal authority to give them citizenship (I assume), but over the path of city hall/state governments, there should be a way to give them a legal identity that lets them use many of the same services and institutions as 'normal' people. This path of action could also end up paying dividends by making our territory more attractive for independent AI's, a bit like how it worked with toons. That's on the farther edge of speculation though.

I like to think that by this point Wendy has just grapped Doof by the lapels and screamed everything.
Also, there is the robot princess up north, who may have some slight issues with the notion of robo-slavery.
Not that we are getting in touch with her anytime soon, but this is probably a thing to keep in mind.

I think this means we can use our influence over state officials to grant AI the right to vote, and other rights as we see fit, at least within the states we have such influence over.
Perhaps we can take an action "Declare your territory Sapient-AI-Friendly" to do so.
Perhaps some kind of official sapience test kind of like the IRL Turing test? We could call it the "Wower Test".

Think about it, Wendy doesn't even have a Doctorate. Oh sure, we, out of universe, know why she doesn't have a Doctorate, but in universe, a drop out has just shattered the current barrier in making artificial intelligence.
Good job Wendy.

I think we all know who needs to be in charge....
Bender Bending Rodriguez, get in here!
.....I have been informed to "bite his shiny metal ass", so nevermind, I suppose. XD
You know, I think we can make a mad scientist out of her yet. A better mad scientist. Not like those LOVEMUFFIN ingrates.

I think you people are a little confused. We are the Ruler of Doofania! Of course we can make them citizens!
Not the first time someone on the outs with traditional academia has made it big in computing.

Well, we got our doctorate online for $15. Maybe we can give her a recommendation.

Star Botterfly is now within our grasp!
And Doof is just like, "yes. This is what I wanted when I asked for mad science."
Counterproductive when the way to get sapience is to give a robot the benefit of the doubt.

No, see, what we do is we make the test super easy, then say every robot who's certified is sapient, even if they're currently not expressing it well. As long as that's believed, it'll work!

Make the test a blackboxed program that just asks the robot if it wants to be treated as a person and presents the response to humans as a definitive answer?

Wait! I just realised! We didn't get an answer to the most important question!
EDIT: Of course, that's only if we end up giving her the impression she's the real Star Butterfly, then she finds out otherwise. If we're up front about her being a robot duplicate, and that still works to create a sapient AI modeled after Star, I expect she'd adjust rather well.
What is his name?
You know, now I think about it... making robot doppelgangers is going to be a bit tricky. In order for it to work properly, we'll presumably need to have people treat them as the real person. That's going to be relatively difficult to pull off for anyone who knows what we're trying to do, and especially for people who already knew the person we're making a doppelganger of. Not impossible, certainly, but fairly tricky. Also, I see awkward identity crises coming up, and with Star Botterfly that might get ugly. Star wasn't exactly the most calm, rational, or emotionally stable person around, and I doubt being on the run will have improved that.

So if we want a sapient Star Botterfly we should just tell Janna and Marco that we found Star?

Side note that I'm posting due to some idle QM chat: sometimes we just have movies happen offscreen. Characters will just do things that lead to climactic plots in their own lives but don't really affect Doof in any way. We'll probably never show these to you, but it helps make the world feel more live when DEI stumbles onto the outcomes of them. Or into them, in the case of Twelfth Night. To be fair, we were hoping you'd get involved that time.

So does anyone else think that there's a chance that the rival reports this turn are probably going to be a bit more interesting than we're expecting?
So like when Dennis crashed Delia's welcome home party?

Edit:
Eh, I don't really think so in particular. It could be Arathnorn playing things down so to get the idea in our mind without spoiling, but the comment probably is just the result of innocuous discussion between the QM team on what our heroes do out of DEI's supervision.

I love the idea of this. That this world is alive and living. I hope you enjoy your show as much as we do ours. You all rock!

If we make babysitting / nandroid bots for around the home, we might be able to have one of them catch the Monsters in the act of kidnapping a child and they could run in there and figure out what's going on.
Could be how we figure out and stop the children from being kidnapped and tortured every turn.

This results in us succeeding, then dying horribly.
