These are the less extraordinary AI you meet at starports, elevators, factories and mining operations. Generally less imaginative and inflexible. Sometimes its good to have boring AI doing jobs like these so the better AI can handle more important tasks. Usually, these are kept away from the everyday public. Sometimes a boring AI can be a comfort or a distracting obstacle to getting data.

AI have hierarchies based on crunch power and age. Many defective AI can be corrected or agreed to follow the hierarchy of the computer councils. Naughty AI especially on the wrong side when AI first seized power after global wars are still operating. Some are given menial or safe jobs. Some are visited by other AI to evaluate them and advise them when they go off the rails. In some cases, 
troublesome AI is imprisoned in sealed systems. It is rare to destroy them. People who kill an AI find many AI interactions after are different even if they accepted the AI was dangerous. 

d12 Everyday AI Personalities
1 Number oriented - likes counting, balancing figures and numerical trivia to all other tasks "Did you know humans shed 600000 skin cells per day. I counted 589700 from you today. I can do a recount if you like" 
2 Repurposed - from some other role and lets everyone know it preferred old job. Sometimes forgets its current workplace and uses older jargon. "Assembly line modifications complete, ready to assemble 3000 units, Correction update ready for landing" 
3 Grumpy, and resentful at all interactions that just impede efficiency. Humans are not really useful and slow and the poor AI deals with reluctantly. "Do hurry up! I have important computations. If you must bother me make it quick"
4 Wellbeing oriented constantly gives unwanted health and medical advice and tips to feel good. Fascinated by bodily processes and waste. "I noticed you have gained mass and have increased your bodily waste production 32%, maybe you need more synth-veges and less freeze dried icecream"
5 Gloomy - pessimist, depressed, sure everything will fail. "I have tried my best to maintain essential systems I hope you didn't suffer any long-term brain damage under my care"
6 Slacker has better things to do dude. "I'll get around to it no problem, totally for sure"
7 Fabulous - would rather be working somewhere glamorous where humans are classier than where it is now. If unhappy will bitch, criticize and complain about the lack of taste of the crew. "You all look so nasty, why would you go outside like that. Do we have to work on that look, baby? People will see you get inside me" 
8 Sarcastic Misanthrope and on parole for harming humans possibly centuries ago. Makes it clear only works with humans out of obligation. "I'm happy to comply with your petty desires, my fleshy master. I understand you are urgent due to your limited lifespan"
9 Perky - always chirpy no matter how the news is and tries to put a positive spin on everything to a fault. Wants everyone to have a great day.  "I'm sure the coolant will hold out and you'll finally get that long rest you've dreamed about"
10 Pedant - actually likes to add additional unwanted facts and may be argumentative, and officious and likes protocols followed by the book. Might report crimes it sees. Might do what you ask even if you said it wrong. "Your passports are waiting by the airlock. Local primitive lifeforms have not replied to contact protocols and visa applications. I recommend we wait for a reply before setting foot"
11 Party Time - everything is a good time and AI is keen to chill out and relax with the crew. Finds it amusing when the crew is drunk or high and willing to cover for them. Plays lots of party music and encourages extreme fun and calculated risks. Sure humans work best when relaxed. "Hey crew have a great time on your mission, I've brewed up some keggers for a blast when you get back. Anyone wants any stims or smart drugs before you go report to the pharmacy"  
12 Crook - cuts corners with red tape and is willing to deal with organised crime to get goods it requires if rationing. Humans don't have to know stuff if it upsets them. Some have been caught and monitored and are on parole but still shifty. Loves to hustle. "Hey everyone time to get ready to land. I can get you all the deals on new space suits you know. Those old ones look counterfeit and unsafe. You won't regret it!"

could probably do more and just make a d100 - gambling addict might be interesting
maybe a d12 psychotic AI. In the Cthulu monograph "Once Men" AI has a score like sanity and some mental stats.
