This tweet should be a case study in anthropomorphizing AI. It has a name, a gender, a backstory. If you overheard this guy talking about his pet AI and missed the context that it's a machine, you'd think he was talking about a real human person. Very strange.
I wonder if River is a reference to the Firefly character, which was known for being unstable and unpredictable.
