: Re: Writing the dialogues of characters who are much smarter than you A.I. should have perfect English, but because they are mainly servants, they should be easily understood. Cyborgs, on the other

To be able to write an intelligent character, you need to do research, and you need to expand your own vocabulary.

Watch videos on today's more complex A.I. and make notes on their patterns of speech, level of vocabulary, and general behavior. You can also research modern and older portrayals of cyborg intelligence in the media that you deem effective and fitting of how you want to portray cyborgs in your work. (I would recommend Bishop, the cyborg from Aliens, and the different Terminators, for a start.)

You might also want to read up on the actual development of today's A.I. and how their language skills are programmed.

Something to not do, however, would be to write normal dialogue and then break out a thesaurus to replace every other word with a "sophisticated" one. If you write a character and simply replace their vocabulary with flowery words to make them seem smarter, that won't work and your writing will fall flat.
