Dan Simmons - Hyperion Cantos - AI's

Lamia and Johnny heading toward the technocore AI's. In order to meet the AI's they must enter a cyberspace common to many sci-fi stories.

As they do, things become abstracted. They meet the stable AI, Ummon. Lamia looks for a face, but sees only shifting colours.

The stable AI's foresee a future alongside humanity.

I've no idea how you can draw a mind, each AI is based on a different tea bowl!
