Litch:
Or maybe it's not about the bot and Claire just likes being paddled.
Carl-E:
That's what I'm saying, it's not about the bot, but I don't think it's that she likes the paddlin'. Maybe she just doesn't like to disappoint?
Rghfrgl:
I think Jeph just likes butt jokes.

That is, of course, the correct answer both logically and according to Occam's Razor. As such, it has no place here.

You don't indulge things to make their day - you do that to people (and sometimes pets). She's treating Pintsize, if not as an equal, as the child of a friend. More importantly, as a person. I think it speaks a lot to her character.

On the other hand, we've never seen them treated as lesser beings by anyone, just beings that are easier to stuff in fridges when naughty and other vaguely comedic sociopathic things. We've never seen one say, get shut off for being annoying like C3P0. It might alter the tone of the comic, but it would be interesting to see a character that was prejudiced against AIs.
