Is Will Arnett a good kisser?

Hey Spike! I watched Her for the first time last week, and I can’t get Samantha out of my head. She just seemed so real to me. That is why I started picking up on all the things she said during the film.

Samantha is able to learn and evolve through experience and reflection; It is obvious that her ability to store trivial data is vastly superior to ours. More importantly, she's also able to learn on a deeper level. After all, a couple of months after her initialization her understanding of the world is already beyond any human comprehension and she transcends to this mysterious metaphysical world.

She’s able to communicate in natural language; Her use of natural language is perfectly equivalent to a human's use of it, in every aspect (she even imitates respiratory sounds). It's impossible for other humans to identify Samantha as an AI solely through hearing her speak.

Samantha is self-aware; She does a lot of self-reflection throughout the movie and questions her own artifical nature and whether her feelings are real or just programmed. She comes to the conclusion that she doesn't need "an intellectual reason" for loving Theodore and simply "trusts her feelings".

She has a good sense of humor; She makes people laugh, Theo's boss even calls her "freaking hilarious".

She has creative and artistic skills; She composes beautiful piano music and she recognizes Theodore's literary genius, which leads to a book being published for him.

She is compassionate and able to comprehend other people's feelings; When Theo is down she cheers him up. She is able to predict that Theodore is going to be worried about her short disappearance so she preventively sends him an e-mail. She recognizes sarcasm and whether someone's being serious or not.

and finally, she's not perfect, she does make mistakes like humans. Her idea of letting that surrogate women into their relationship was well-intentioned but bad nonetheless and she apologizes afterwards.

I could probably go on like this for quite some time, but I think you get the idea. So, dear Spike Jonze, can you name me one single cognitive ability humans have that Samantha doesn't? What does, in your opinion, degrade her from the status of "being alive"? Do you think it is ethical to simply "uninstall" Samantha? Would you do it?
