Try "it." "It" reminds me of of a foreign friend of mine who can't always find the right words, but seems to have the right idea. We get a good laugh when he butchers everything and we still know exactly what he's telling us. Romona borders on the same capability. Lot's of work to be done in determining context. The human brain still does that way better than any computer (although Watson is getting close). Lighthead: She?

Please don't say that. Of course you are projecting these traits onto this mindless algorithm. "Ramona" is one of the more underwhelming chatbots I've encountered in recent years. I'll be damned if can remember the one really good one I've come across. Hopefully Ray's team will roll out some serious improvements in the current "upgrade" currently being made to the program. I assume its centrality to the motion picture narrative for "The Singularity is Near" has prompted her creators to make her a bit more ready for primetime. “It’s almost as if she has a sort of consciousness.”

It's almost as if she has a sort of consciousness. Albeit nonsensical. That’s sort of trippy. It’s almost as if she has a sort of consciousness. Albeit nonsensical.
