All of the above, and... Is that a Transformer in the bottom right of the last panel? Is Charlotte's super-neat hair a shout-out to AI? And Charlotte demonstrates that Pintsize is not the only robot filled with mischief.

Referring to the chassis, I think she means 'personality' in the sense of 'individuality' rather than in the sense that applies exclusively to a person/character. It is pretty common to refer to inanimate objects as having some 'personality' in the former sense.

Skewbrow:
I don't know what to make out of the fact that I noticed the most prominent difference between the regular and the de luxe models in the first panel only on my third reading. :psyduck:

My favorite fictional AI? R. Daneel Olivaw, of course. HAL is ok, I guess. Ahead of the StarWar simpletons, but behind Marvin. 2001? I never saw the movie, and the book is relatively old meaning that I was capable of only reading a Finnish translation at the time, so no HAL quotes from me. Or may be one from 2061 (or was it 3001?). "Remember us, if we fail to download" (HAL and Bowman had merged personalities at the time, hence the plural pronoun).

I am so glad it wasn't just me. I almost posted asking why the heck the deluxe model's only difference was hair colour...

I'm not going to read much into it in my case... it almost certainly just means that my observational skills are crap.

I didn't notice until I read this!  :angel:
