Tech bro Libertarians love the novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” by Robert A. Heinlein.
One plot line in the book is that the main computer for the Lunar penal colonies achieves self awareness. A computer repair man discovers that the HOLMES computer is starting to tell itself jokes and gives it the name ‘Mycroft’ after Mycroft Holmes.
Later, Mycroft meets a woman and creates a female personality, Michelle.
I feel like we live in a parody
