Blue Fairy
Grants the puppet life
The Blue Fairy is a magical character in Carlo Collodi's *Pinocchio* (1883) and Disney's 1940 film adaptation, who brings the wooden puppet to life and promises to make him a real boy if he proves himself worthy.
The figure has become a cultural symbol for wish-granting magic or the hope that something artificial might become genuine: He kept waiting for a Blue Fairy to fix his problems.
In AI discourse, the Blue Fairy sometimes represents the fantasy of machines achieving true consciousness or humanity.
