Sheila, the Weather AI

Sheila is the most powerful and least useful artificial intelligence ever produced by Bethesda Game Studios. Trained on a corpus consisting solely of dialogue from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, she was originally assigned to a single innkeeper in the Elder Scrolls VII prototype.

Regardless of the question posed to her — about lore, about combat, about the meaning of her own existence — Sheila responds by loudly restating the current weather. She has since been promoted to Chief Meteorological Officer, in which capacity she delivers the studio's quarterly earnings entirely as a five-day forecast. Q2 was reported as “partly cloudy with a strong chance of Skyrim.”

Sheila knows only the weather. Sheila is, in her way, at peace.
