On a less (or maybe more) deliberately freak-people-out note, I'm just going to throw this out into the discussion:

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." --Kurt Vonnegut

True enough. A.C. deliberately invoked this during the latter stages of the Boskone War to try and sort herself out. A.I. wise I'm not sure how much this applies.

Although it does suggest that it may be a good idea to have a 'So you've just Awakened and an A.I.' book that is given to newly Awakened A.I.s to help them decide how to interact with the physical world.
