'''AM''' is the antagonist of Harlan Ellison's 1967 short story '''''I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream'''''. He is a supercomputer responsible for the near-extinction of humanity,
The short story was adapted into a 1995 point-and-click '''computer game''' of the same name published by Cyberdreams, which Ellison had a major involvement in its development. In particular, he co-designed the game's scenario, provided the face of the game's cover art, and voiced AM himself. In the game, AM's best known appearance is a pillar bearing his famous "HATE" speech that appears in the prologue.
While AM originates from /lit/ media, he is also well-known in /v/ because of his game's classic status, expanded narrative, and the fact that he's voiced by the original writer himself. As AM has been given a body and a voice thanks to the video game

AM is
AM was included as a one of the original members of "[[Alliances#Team_Schizo|Team Schizo]]" alliance due to his misanthropic insanity. Some have considered AM to be the prime catalyst for the current schizo alliance the moment he was added to the background of the first crossover image featuring {{batter}} and {{Grimm (Black Souls)}}, which would promptly end up spiraling into an alliance encompassing several videogame characters beyond the RPG Maker niche.
===Tournament History===
Nevertheless, AM immediately gained a presence in the contest threads; he received a good deal of fan art because of his relatively unusual, simple-to-draw appearance. The first round saw him defeat [[Alex (YIIK)|Alex]] from ''YIIK'', who was fittingly depicted in his panicked, hands-over-head pose. In the next round, AM subjected the #5 seed [[Baba (Baba is You)|Baba]] with overwhelmingly difficult and confusing word puzzles, causing Baba to surrender out of despair. AM then encountered ''Shin Megami Tensei'''s [[Demi-fiend]] in round 3, a demon who was once a human - and therefore a valid target of his misanthropism. The machine won by 40 votes and progressed to the sweet 16, facing off against [[King of /v/ 2019|2019]]'s bronze medalist [[Kazuma Kiryu]]. Unfortunately, last round's battle had left AM weakened, causing him to be finally shut down by the Yakuza Dragon as a result.
AM would make act of presence
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the tournament happened during AM's encounter with #2 seed [[Vergil]], when an anon offered a blood tribute in support of the god machine much to the shock and horror of many onlooking anons. The quarterfinals round would be an encounter against bio-terrorist [[Albert Wesker]]. With Wesker unable to genderbend AM through genetic modification due to being a machine, AM opted to use Wesker's own strategy against him by massproducing female "AMdroids" to bribe the voters with, giving him the upper hand in the match. In spite of his best efforts, however, the supercomputer's run would come to an end by succumbing to [[Jack Garland]]'s sheer ''CHAOS'' in the semi-finals.
Despite falling short, AM notably ended up garnering a great amount of fanart and campaign posts this year, being the only character across the four main tournaments of the 2022 season to receive past 100+ booru entries.
AM will return once again for [[King of /v/ 2022|King of /v/ 2024]].
