Artificial personality

An artificial personality software upgrade provides a computer with a natural-language user interface. It can understand and respond to plain language, slang, and social cues, interpret tone and other communication aspects beyond simple literal parsing of languages, and respond appropriately from a massive algorithmic database of billions of responses.

Despite their apparent intelligence — which extends to learning names and providing advice — artificial personalities are not self-aware or sentient, distinguishing them from androids and artificial intelligences.
