I find it interesting that almost all the beloved AI characters in sci-fi have personalities ranging from 'a little bit snarky' to 'raging asshole'. Given the tendency of media to influence to aesthetics of actual tech products that follow, ten years ago I would have predicted that an AI assistant would be given a personality along the lines of Cortana (Halo) or Jarvis (iron man). But somehow half a dozen companies in fierce competition with each other all decided that the right move was to go with more-sycophantic-c3p0.

Yeah... Don't know that it has much to do with what people want, but it does show what the billionaires controlling these projects respond well to

Jarvis comes to mind, although I’m only familiar with it from early iron man movies, idk if they gave it a better personality later
