Cheerful A.I.	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When creating a form of Artificial Intelligence (usually some kind of robot assistant), one might want to avoid it being overly emotionless. So, in an effort to make it seem more human, you might program it to simulate helpful serenity. This includes remaining calm and friendly even after being insulted, receiving shocking revelations, or encountering frightening things. As a result, this cheerfulness can come off as creepy. Notably, the fact that they're friendly doesn't mean they're good. In some cases, they can escalate into full-on villainy, while remaining cheerful and smiling the whole time. Usually a Benevolent A.I.. May be a Stepford Smiler. See Machine Monotone when this is averted. See Dissonant Serenity when this applies to humans. See Personality Chip if they are programmed to simulate the full spectrum of human emotions. Grew Beyond Their Programming is optional.

Cheerful A.I. / int_1f8462f7	comment	Spider-Man 2099: Lyla, Miguel's Lyrate Life-form Approximation Holographic Assistant (basically his AI house maid), is programmed to imitate emotions of happiness and cheerfulness no matter what. As a result, she is jarringly dissonant during some more of Miguel's darker moments, such as when Dana dies. She eventually averts this trope, as she grows beyond her programming and reacts more appropriately to situations.

Cheerful A.I. / int_6196490	comment	Ghost in the Shell: In the original manga, a footnote mentions that most gynoids assigned to men are given perpetually cheerful personalities. Then there are the iconic Badass Adorable urban combat tanks that appear in several iterations throughout the franchise, with Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex's Tachikomas perhaps being the most iconic. All versions, but the Tachikomas especially, default to cheerful, child-like curiosity, even when it's not entirely appropriate to the situation.

Cheerful A.I. / int_706b3301	comment	The Jolly Roger Telephone Company employs several bots to waste the time of telemarketers and scammers. Naturally, many of the telemarketers become upset with the bots (although most don't realize they're bots), and will unleash tirades of verbal abuse, or try to talk to female bots in a flirtatious or sexual manner. The bots, however, are not phased by any of this.

Cheerful A.I. / int_a662a127	comment	The Adventure Zone: In the story arc "The Crystal Kingdom", several robot characters are featured and shown to be upbeat, particularly the healing bot No. 3ll3, the clownish elevator Upsy Your Lifting Friend, and children’s game show host Hodgepodge the Buddy Bot. Upsy is programmed as a lovable but creepy mascot for elevators, while Hodgepodge is meant to be friendly to motivate children to learn. No. 3ll3 may be an exception to this rule, as she is really a human soul unwillingly taken from the Astral Plane.

Cheerful A.I. / int_bb8d2f1a	comment	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The doors of the Heart of Gold are programmed by Sirius Cybernetics with Genuine People Personalities (tm) . Marvin the robot describes them as insufferably smug. Sirius Cybernetics describes them as having "a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done." Eddie, your shipboard computer, who is also part of the Heart of Gold. He's feeling just great and he's sure he's going to get a bundle of kicks out of whatever program you care to run through him. He briefly undergoes a personality change, replaced with a nagging motherly personality that Zaphod Beeblebrox thought might work out better, but this one is quickly abandoned after it turns out to be worse. Colin the security robot in Mostly Harmless becomes this after Ford tinkers with him. Originally, he was programmed to be bored if he couldn't find and report intruders, and happy if he could. Ford replaced this circuit with a simple length of wire, making him happy about everything.

The Heart of Gold's A.I.s were installed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, whose first attempt at Genuine People Personalities produced Marvin the Paranoid Android, a depressive, highly-intelligent robot whose behavior causes consternation from anyone he interacts with. To correct for this, future applications of GPP forced the A.I.s to have perpetually sunny and pleasant attitudes, which, people being what they are, was equally annoying in a different way.
