Buffy: Artificial Intelligence by Elizabeth Ann Lewis

Artificial Intelligence (Buffybot | G | 804 words) is a day in the life of the Buffybot. The story's kind of creepy, especially in the way that it manages to make the Buffybot living rather than a programmed robot. And it's such a unique perspective.

Excerpt:
Run file: Welcome.

"Hi, Dawn! How was your day? Hi Willow! How was your day?"

Dawn is my sister. Dawn looks at me, and her face smushes and folds in a weird way, and she runs away upstairs. Probability: she goes to her room. Probability confirmed when the door slams.

Willow looks at me and shakes her head. "I should pull that routine out."

Run file: Make comfortable.

"Can I get you something to drink? Do you want to talk about your day?"
