Bender the robot had a interesting personality. Type A something.
IBM just announced their first commercial AI application .... legal assistant. And another one for a medical assistant.
The hard part was understanding what people needed by what they were talking about. Giving a robot a personality helped in situations communicating with different humans.
I recall reading a study done long ago that showed most people have a preference for a slightly abrasive personality type. Bender light version kinda.
