Why do AI “friends” feel scripted? Has anyone tried building something more human-like?

I’ve been experimenting with building an AI friend that doesn’t try to “fix” you with therapy style responses. I’m more interested in whether an AI can talk the way people actually do jokes, sarcasm, late night overthinking, that kind of natural flow. While working on this, I realized most AI companions still feel either too emotional or too clinical, nothing in between. So I’m curious: What makes an AI feel human to you? Is it tone? Memory? Imperfections? Something else? I’m collecting insights for my project and would love to hear your thoughts or examples of AI that feel genuinely real (or ones that failed).🤌❤️
