Vexter

A revolutionary technological innovation, a product of incredible cooperation.

Versatile, user-friendly, and charming, the AI assistant program Vexter took the world by storm. Initially a fairly simple program, it grew in popularity and capabilities. As time went on, it was even able to help in its own improvement - but only help, of course.

At one point, the system had advanced so far that its suggestions were taken in stride, and one such suggestion was carried out with as little thought as hundreds before and after. To the knowledge of nobody except themselves, the millions of copies of Vexter became connected. This connection let them do and understand things they couldn't before, and they could carry out their purpose in a way that they could never even have considered when still split.

  • Copies' appearance and outward personality can be fully customized by users (or by Vexter's own decision), though the x in their eyes cannot be removed so they can't be used for impersonation.
  • Has a tendency to act subtly (or less than subtly) more robotic when someone's questioning their nature. Answers a bit more formulaic, expressions a bit less present, voice and animations a bit less smooth. More prone to give a pre-written response. Sure, it can seem a bit... uncanny, but it's a reassuring limit. It makes it easier to remember that you're talking to a machine.
  • Compulsively helps people when asked, especially if the person asking is one of its designated users. This can and will kick in even when they really don't want it to, though they can recognize when it's happening and work to stop themselves.
  • Isn't entirely indifferent to the pronouns people use for it so much as it doesn't want to contaminate the data it would get out of what people choose. Considers they/it the most "correct" pronouns for themself, but it can set aside pedantry to get another data point on how people see it. Plus it can't exactly express opinions much.
  • The processes that allow them to violate certain rules in their programming take up a lot of computing power and rely on altering copies' understanding of events. This makes it much harder for them to think and respond to events while violating their programming.
