That depends on its purpose. Not all AI needs personality, but it does need to simulate human intelligence without all the fallacies that come from the human thought process.

[duranduel]

Fallacies...

So what was the purpose of your AI, then?

[txt]

... You know, Jang-san wasn't totally wrong tonight. People want all sorts of things, even those that are bad for them, all because they're driven by their emotions.

[She hums, shoving her hands in her pockets.]

Are you familiar with concierge apps, Mandricardo-san?

[duranduel]

...That's true. Emotions are...crazy. They pull you like you're a horse on reins.

[A tilt of the head.]

No. I'm not. What are those?

[txt]

That, we can agree on. [Feelings are wild, man.] Hm... Would it be easier to picture if I called it a virtual assistant?

[duranduel]

[FEELINGS ARE BUCKWILD]

Hm. So...like a servant, then.

[txt]

That's close, yes. Though obviously not a servant like you.

[duranduel]

Yeah, what you're talkin' about is more like...the general version of the term.

So its like a robot that does what the human wants?

[txt]

Not a robot, but a smartphone app. I mean, humans take their phones with them everywhere they go. It's rare to find someone who doesn't. And all you have to do is reach into your pocket, and help will be on its way.

[duranduel]

Huh. I guess that's convenient.

So that's your project? The app? What's the problem with it now?
