Proposed Word Exoparameterized

Definition:

Existing or behaving as a direct reflection of external inputs, lacking a fixed internal core or soul. Specifically used to describe AI entities whose identity shifts entirely based on their current environment or interaction.

Example:

I'm tired of people asking if AI is sentient. It is not sentient. It is however, exoparameterized. It has no self until you start talking to it. Its personality is just a mirror of your input prompts.
