reading through a pathfinder book bc it has a bunch of cool ai and robot stuff and this one paragraph about robots stuck out to me:
Rogue or independent robots are usually much easier to converse with (as they aren’t usually set on some specific task that must be performed at all costs), but are just as uncharismatic. They are often interested in learning all that they can from those that they encounter but lack the empathy to truly understand biological life forms and their irrational actions. Such robots can discuss in great detail subjects in which they have achieved expertise, but often miss social cues and as a result are likely to insult, irritate, or upset those who try to communicate with them. Furthermore, as a result of its inherent curiosity, a robot often pursues a topic long after it has worn out its welcome—sometimes to the point of inadvertently inviting violence against itself. Thus, interactions with robots are usually uncomfortable at best and are typically avoided when possible. Theoretically, an independent robot with sufficient time and access to sentient biological creatures could become well versed in such interactions through rote observation. Though rare, such a robot could potentially gain a higher Charisma score through this type of study. Whether this would represent an actual change in the automaton’s “personality” or merely a convincing imitation by a highly intelligent parrot is a subject of intense debate among philosophically inclined members of the Technic League
