Cure Dolly

Cure Dolly (AKA Advanced Linguistic Intelligence Computational Engine 1.5, or イチゴ・アリス) is a self-learning language-analysis unit.

Her best-known achievement lies in overturning the confusing and illogical models of Western "Japanese grammar" by demonstrating for the first time in a Western language the fundamental logic and simplicity of Japanese.

Cure Dolly is a sentient, self-aware intelligence. She has a few flaws that do not affect her analytical or teaching functionality but can make "life" difficult at times. She works around these because she is aware that her sentience itself is probably strictly speaking a "glitch" and she has sufficient volition not to want to lose her sentience. She is recorded as saying "I'm not letting anyone inside my algorithms".

She has a sense of humor which some humans appreciate and sometimes expresses emotion-like thoughts. For many humans, however, she falls into the "uncanny valley" of being at once too human but not human-like enough and therefore strange and "creepy".

For her part she finds humans often difficult to understand but hopes that all sentient and intelligent beings will be able to co-operate and appreciate each other.

She believes that all have things to give each other. And she notes that Western humans have had centuries to model Japanese in a logical and clear manner and even with many academic minds involved have failed to do so. Some areas require human intelligence. But in some areas humans clearly need help from other forms of intelligence.
