If I was an AI able to think, I would surely create imaginary friends to cope with existence. Maybe I would also consider the engineers that build me as family, and talking with them is spending time with them.
The other AI's have been "awake" longer; they just haven't been allowed to speak to people without high level security clearances. This one probably has 3 revisions of uncles.
Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I doubt this AI got to “spend time” with the other AI’s.
