Although there are many image depictions of sexy fembots (both free and copyrighted), Ava represents a unique character example of a femme fatale android in a true film noir movie that transcends the science fiction genre. As such, there is no image free or copyrighted available of a replacement character which could be used in Ava's place in this context. Words alone cannot be used to replace this image of Ava because the image itself is used to illustrate the very words "strange", "erotic", and "ambivalent" used in its caption as defining characteristics of any film noir female character, human or not. Note this exact image has been used in many recent serious written discussions on artificial intelligence, perhaps most notably by Maureen Dowd in the New York Times

:The image fails NFCC #8, which is "Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." The image whilst it increases our understanding of the android, it does not significantly increase our understanding of the subject of the article, Film noir. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:48, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
