I’ve been watching this silly TV series called Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles<\/em> and the humanoid, female machine that the main characters have befriended (actually she was sent from the future to help them), lacks emotion and other human-like qualities like a soul, but looks human and in fact, exemplifies human perfection on the outside.
