Mentally, they would compute problems like a computer, efficiently and without distractions. They never die, only getting more proficient as hardware and software improves. Whatever you do, a robot could do it better. It'd be like Neo from the Matrix..."I know Kung Fu!". Instantly they are trained at whatever took you years to perfect.

Because technical proficiency in music is not a hallmark of success. In fact, even today, the technical best players are often not the most well recognized, famous, or even the most lauded by critics. There are other qualities that are necessary, such as ingenuity, charisma, and maybe sheer audacity.
Not to say that, in the QCverse, AI would be incapable of competing musically (or in any creative format) just that many qualities that create a good artist are personality based. Just as not every human is a good artist, nor could every AI be a good artist. There is no algorithm for creative success.

In principle, one day, perhaps (first we have to define "better", which is not always trivial). But not in the here and now - nor, as far as I can see, in the QCverse.

What I can't understand is why she didn't look at that one first. She clearly already knew which one was her choice. I admit I've done something simillar - browsing all around the store for the 'perfect' laptop or phone, even though I have it in mind already. Difference is, I went and had a long, lustful, covetous look (and if possible a hands-on demo) at the one I had in mind first, so as to make it clear to myself what these other ones are competing with.
HiFranc:
I have a prediction or two:
Once they have the virus sorted out Momo is going to go to the coffee shop to ask for Sven's number. She'll probably give an excuse like "Marigold would like to borrow that book". One of the staff phone Marigold to confirm (with or without Momo's presence) and Marigold is completely surprised. Marigold puts 2 and 2 together and freaks out -- being disatisfied with her body after meeting Sven, getingt a human-sized body and finding an excuse to get Sven's number. Either immediately or after Marigold recovers Marigold shares her insight with the CoD staff. Now both Sven and Momo are in trouble!

Odd that you'd think a AnthroPC that loves to shock people with pics of Goatse would even impart such advice.

Well he considers momo a friend, and there is a difference between shocking someone and them having 'life' threatening issues. (not sure what a corrupted registry file would be like for an anthroPC but I imagine it could be problematic) and since she got him help after he tried to rewire himself... then again I might be expecting a bit much of Pintsize.
