I always think of the nun character against AI in Mrs Davis:

Eh, humans give names to and/or anthropomorphise lots of things. My partner names all of her cars and bikes; I don't. Isn't it more rational to feel some sort of connection and anthropomorphise a tool with which you can at least have an intelligent conversation, than a simple machine?
