GLaDOS' paradox
Would the paradox even work on GLaDOS? I mean, she has to force herself to not think about the paradox and fry her circuits. (Not a potato pun.) But unlike Wheatly and the other robots, she's a human conscience put into a computer. Or a potato in this case. Whereas they are an artificial intelligence. GLaDOS already seems to know that a paradox has no answer, whereas the turrets are trying to find an answer. The reason it doesn't work on Wheatly is cause he's a moron. I mean, I'm not super familiar with this kind of stuff, which is why I'm questioning this.

GlaDOS survived all the scientists attempting to shut her down or as she put it "The engineers tried everything to make me... behave. To slow me down.", it is likely they tried this and she learnt how to counter it (i.e. don't think about it).

The reason why it is likely the liar's paradox is effective against AI in general is because their programming forces them to learn and find explanations and/or answers, to things that happen, attempting to do this with a paradox will result in a continuous loop as the AI will never reach an end point when trying to assimilate this piece of data.
