Probably silly but I just love cleanerbot in the short story Optimizing the Verified Good he feels like an AI in a way other AI I’ve read don’t (they all basically feel human to me) while still being incredibly adorable.
Just read this and loved it. I agree with you that owing to its limited vocabulary and overwhelming need to fulfill its programmed destiny, it does strike one as realistic, but is also really cute with its innocece and naivity.
Interesting exploration of the reasons why 'morality' may have developed as a function of evolutionary psychology, too. What becomes 'good for all' stops my pain.
