[Windows Central Question]

Today (the second, around 12:20 am) I asked Cortana on Windows 10, "How are you" and it said "Great, its the first day of a new year." I presume to be a pre - programmed message. Its when she asked me I find interesting, the message didn't stop at an exact time i.e 11:59 pm, it appeared to generalize to what was roughly new years. Is this AI made to make it seem more human, because it is still the first day of the year else where, or that Microsoft hasn't told Cortana to retrieve a standard response from their server yet?
