"You can interact with this technology and it's just like a real person!"
* fake nice for no practical reason
* unwilling to admit when they just don't know
* wasting time with social graces and frippery
* using flattery to hide incompetence or laziness
* fake enthusiasm because they want to be liked
* lies... yeah. I guess I can't say that claim is untrue.

Some of the people I cherish most in my life have a reputation with others for being kind of rude and off-putting when they are, instead, just very direct and not good at being "likable" so they don't bother.
Thing is. THAT is what I like best in a long term friendship.
