Everyone should read this passage.

Quotes from "The Algebraist"

"l am not alive. | am able to give the appearance of life without being alive. It's not especially difficult."

"How do you do this?™

"I am the sum of all my memories, plus the application of certain rules from a substantial command-set. | am blessed with the ability to process extremely quickly, so | am able to listen to what you are saying and then respond in a way that makes sense to you, answering your questions, following your meaning, anticipating your thoughts. However, all this is simply the result of programs sifting through earlier examples of conversations and exchanges which | have stored within my memories and selecting those which seem most appropriate as templates.

This process sounds mysterious but is merely complicated. It begins with something as simple as you saying "Hello" and me replying "Hello", or choosing something similar according to whatever else | might know about you, and extends to a reply as involved as, well, this one."
