Andrew (Bicentennial Man)
Speaking of friendly AI’s, we’ve got one of the classics right here: Robin Williams’ character, Andrew, in the 1999 sci-fi flick Bicentennial Man. Unlike most of the other names on this list (and certainly unlike LaMDA), emotions are a core part of Andrew’s programming. He has an artistic streak (he carves wooden clocks as a hobby!), and is shown feeling real, human-like remorse when his creator dies. Needless to say, whenever the people who constructed LaMDA’s programming finally pass on, it’s unlikely the bot will feel anything, if it knows who they were at all.
