AIs and androids
 
#3
I'm not certain there is a 'standard' awakening. Many of the stories so far either gloss over or ignore how the AIs in them woke up. It looks
like anything with sufficient 'waved computing power (and some things that don't) can generate an AI, but there's no hard and fast rules about why
an AI wakes up or not, or what kind of personality they have.

Most AIs so far seem to either have personalities that are similar to adult humans, or are strangely child like. But there's a lot of variation, such as
Gina, the Fisher-bots, Ptichka, the Fates, Buckaroo. And then there are the odd-balls like Trigon and Dee. There do seem to be a lot of ghost-in-the-machine
types, but whether or not their tied to the hardware they woke up in is often unclear.

And as for Scott-series Androids, they may have been the only deliberately built androids (technically gynoids) in Fenspace at the time of Doug's arrival.
Or Noah et al could have been mistaken. Of course the Stelvia launched in 2008, and Doug arrived while Noah was still building it.

I guess at the moment it's a matter of, "do you want an AI character?" combined with "this isn't a dystopia".
