1000x if-else in source code is not artificial intelligence 
You will be surprised how many if statements are contained in an AI source code. You need a lot of them already for simple neural networks...The whole human decision hierarchy is based on if-then-else statements 
I love rocks and gem stones too. 
My comic will feature some, though I might need to rename them to fit in with the world a bit. 
I've been researching their different properties (and spiritual properties - a bit far out, but inspirational for my story). 
The whole human nervous structure is nothing but "if's", since a neuron is a kind of a logic switch.
I got plenty of those. I design custom magic: the gathering cards, I collect and sell natural sea glass, I blacksmith, I'm into academic conlanging (constructing hypothetical languages), I collect artisan soaps, and I know wayyy too much about the history of youtube poop
I'm also into gemstones in a non-scientific way.
I've collected a massive amount of Yu-Gi-Oh cards sense I was about ten or so years old, I'm pretty good at the game. I also have a big collection of dragon incense burners, swords/knives and skulls.
I buy lot's of bunny designed things, like bunny ears bunny shirts ,pull overs and jackets
-I put honey on every salty food like spam lmao, 
Ooh, I collect bunny stuffed animals. I'm not younger than 18 so even if collecting stuffed animals isn't an unusual interest usually, a lot of people think if you're an adult and collect stuffed animals then you're weird xD So I guess that's my unusual interest.
Geology, poi spinning, and I really like watching pole dancing competitions, and break dancing. There is just something about the poses that is just so cool as an art form.
Aside from being a furry, which isn’t that unusual amongst artists. I’m really into the occult and Lovecraftian horror. I have a lot of books about chaos magic on my shelves at home.

Used to have an interest in exploring the land where I lived, map-making, and looking for edible plants to gather and eat purely for the fun of it. Also kept a journal detailing every new plant and animal species I came across, but then I moved closer to the city and that sadly killed the budding hobby. :'I
Nowadays, the only unusual interest I can think of at the top of my head is maybe my music tastes. Not that what I listen to is especially crazy or niche, but that I listen to such a wide range of stuff and genres. I'll listen to jazz, hiphop, pop, country, electronic, lofi, opera, rock, metal, psychedelic trance, citypop, and reggae in one sitting, in a bunch of different languages from different decades.
I like to be surprised by what my randomized playlists throw at me next, and sometimes make a game of it by challenging myself to see how long I can listen to music without having any one language (or other category) come up more than once in the list. I strongly associate songs with memories and feelings and like to imagine a different dreamscape or story scenario for each song.
Sometimes music is a background thing, but can often be a pastime in-and-of itself for me.
Might not be such an unusual thing to the creators I interact with over the internet, but among my irl family and acquaintances it's something I've resolved to keep to myself after being called weird one too many times.
- Splitting paper in half
- Anti-ligature architecture
- Doing a no-home run in Outside
- Oh, oh, also, one of my favourite pastimes in high school was to enter Chinese/English words/phrases into Google Translate and laugh at the English/Chinese translation it gives XD
I am strangely into old Americana music from 100+ years ago and I like reading up history of where folk songs and children school songs come from. And I love finding YouTube vids of old recording for songs that seem almost lost to time.
I also tend to sometime get obsessed with random things and fall down strange rabbitholes. Like I got sort of curious about Bazooka Joe comics and went through and read all of them from each decade. They are so weird.
I also tend to fall down rabbitholes about medical conditions. I guess I most read up on skin conditions, mental illness, and developmental disorders. Yeah, I am a weirdo who will look up skin rashes...I don't know why.
I'm absolutely fascinated by color (like, the history of colors and color theory and such), poisons (especially poisonous plants) and, appropriately, poisonous colors. I've read every book I can get my hands on about both topics, and have seriously considered writing my own book about poisonous colors.
I don;t consider my interests as unusual (unless of course watching documentaries on serial killers and asylums is unusual at this day and age) but! My wife collects bus and train tickets for over 10 years now! She sees a ticket laying around? She grabs it, puts it in her collection box and every six month she counts them, making notes on the serial numbers etc...
