Riight.
TheCollector:
I absolutely love how this Chassis is like an improved version of the one in the dream Momo had. The improvement being the fact that this one has a nose.
That was actually the reason I previously didn't want the same chassis, the no nose looked weird. Or at least very tiny nose. But this, this I love. Especially in the fifth panel, so Cute!
Also, anyone else notice that while the shop keep is like that, Momo's new chassis doesn't have those lines on the joints? She looks more like a normal human then a robot.

I'm not saying that they can't. However, this is only a starting point; to produce the full complexity of a human being is another matter. It may be (and I conjecture, because I don't know, any more than you do) that the task of emulating a human would bring us up against the limits of computability in such a way as would explain the uncertainty in the results in the case of humans themselves - thus possibly providing a basis for free will.

Out of context quoting is fun! Yes, a logical algorithm can be written for any human action, the drawback being computational time. I've seen no such problems with any A.I. in QC.

That's fair.
Sorflakne:
So I was looking at panel 3, and in 3a, it initially looked like Momo was feeling up the new chassis, which would explain the reaction in 3b (if she realized that she suddenly doesn't like boobs), but her line in panel 4 just throws me off, since I'm not sure how corrupted registries would factor into it.
