She went from a simple cell phone app to a living being that's experienced life, and like Pygmalion, she evolved in ways that her creator wasn't ready for.
I wasn't really shocked by her behavior, maybe that's because I have children and this isn't that far from what they think. Like helper, they want to see the good side of people.
Then again, helper has been aged (Programatically) by years (though virtually) and she could now be a teenager.
Like most teenagers, she thinks her parents are dumb. So that's not surprising either.
And finally, she's a woman...and I won't go any more into that battle.
