Because in our world there are AI robots walking around among us?

Yeah, I got over that a while ago. Seeing people eat in restaurants like normal human beings just makes me nostalgic right now.

From what I see whenever I go out, I'd think that Siri or Cortana, or whatever is closer to sentient than most of the bipeds.

Sort of in some places. Though, the intent behind them seems a fair bit different in some cases (buy robot and fire staff vs intended to actually help people).

Not fully, no.
But Japan has these little dudes deployed in malls and apparently they're rolling out some more in convenience stores.
