* ''Series/BabylonFive'', 3rd season episode "Ceremonies of Light and Dark". One of the sub-plots involved Security Chief Michael Garibaldi investigating some problems which may or may not have involved hacking computer records. Garibaldi is forced to switch personality modules from the rather dry and straightforward one that we have heard all along, and gets an argumentative and sarcastic module, which is brilliantly voiced by ''Creator/HarlanEllison''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', X9, one of the X model robots built by mad scientists for Aku, is given an experimental emotion chip by one of the scientists ("He was... funny that way"). It's the reason he was the most effective of the X models, and the only one still alive: None of the others had the capacity to care about living, so they had no sense of self-preservation. His emotions prove his downfall, when his love for his dog Lulu forces him to go after Jack.

Computers. They're wonderful machines and valuable assets to any SciFi mission. They can perform calculations and operations with pinpoint accuracy at the speed of light and [[PhotographicMemory never forget anything]] they learn. There's just one problem: a computer doesn't make a very good friend. Try to get one to empathize with you, and they'll probably just rattle off TechnoBabble, [[DeadpanSnarker tell you why you're wrong]], and explain their theories [[StrawVulcan on the pointlessness of human emotion]], all in a hollow, monotone voice. Hmm, could there possibly be any way to make an AI entity seem more... [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots human]]?
