The story somewhat reminds me of the treatment of the holographic doctor on “Voyager” (the Star Trek spin-off series).

The “doctor” was urged to try to understand humans better by having a “home life”, so he programmed a holographic family to be his home life.

When he showed his crewmates how that family interacted, he was told it seemed a little unrealistic.

Trying for a bit more accuracy, he introduced a little randomness.

...

What can I say? Shenanigans ensued.
