Looks interesting - what gave the AI character a non-human feel for you?

Yes, that's a great example actually! It's been a while since I've read the two main Hyperion books but it's true that the shrike is totally non-human. If I remember right there's also the priest chapter which contains compelling examples of unique aliens. Can't remember if they were humanoid or not.

This is what I’ve found in many AI characters. They can be compelling, complex and interesting to read, but their motivations and behaviour always seems unmistakably human.
