It's common to train UIs on a mountain of human-generated data. For some AI systems, that will influence things that the AI knows, and the relationships between things that it knows.

The point of saying that an AI is "alien" is to remind everyone that AIs don't think AT ALL like humans do. That's certainly true with current AI technologies, and likely to remain true for the next decade or two.

It's dangerous for people to project human psychology onto AI systems in the same way that it's dangerous for prison staff to project themselves onto sociopathic residents.

Being trained entirely on data from and about humans doesn't imply that the AI's thought process will be anything like a human's. More likely, the AI will be very good at responding or interacting like a human.
