As artificially intelligent products become ubiquitous with twenty-first century life, the need arises to understand these devices, specifically as to when and why humans deem them useful and necessary. Little research currently exists that rhetorically explores the relationship between AI and human beings. As such, two studies were conducted for this dissertation that integrate an operationalized definition of rhetorical situation with that of context. The first, a rhetorical analysis of advertisements for commercially available artificially intelligent products -- an automated vacuum cleaner, a smartphone, and non-player characters in a video game -- seeks to identify the rhetorical nature of the interaction between human and AI as shown through visual representations of their relationships. The results of this study indicated that, in some circumstances, the interaction between the human and AI was rhetorical. Furthermore, it suggested that AI could exhibit two different forms of intelligence -- contextual and rhetorical -- simultaneously, separately, or independently. The second, a research study, asked participants to interact with three forms of AI, identical or similar to the products described in the first study, and to report back on their interactions. Participants were asked to describe and rank the intelligence of the AI within the products tested. The results of the second study supported those of the first and also showed that user expectations of AI in terms of contextual versus rhetorical intelligence greatly influenced their perceptions of the AI. The results of both studies highlight the importance of integrating rhetorical approaches into the development of AI products, studies, and research.
