Game and Watch Forever:
My thoughts are that she probably has a higher up to report to, which would require some way to interface with them. So I'm sure she still has a way of interacting with the world. Hopefully they're not treating her poorly but we really can't be sure. :-\
The comments on May's "age" and lack of experience would indeed explain some behaviors and make it all the more interesting to see how she changes through this arc (assuming there is a change).
HeavyP:
Thing is, an artificial intelligence of the QCverse style is fundamentally different from a human. She can see and hear in meatspace via Dale's glasses, but she can't communicate with anyone other than Dale, and she cannot feel, smell, touch, or really have any interaction with anything that Dale is not interacting with, so you really can't draw a parallel with what a human would feel here. There also exists the fact that a human that's shut off from everything has only their own thoughts to occupy them, but an AI can still interact meaningfully with other programs, regardless of location. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think it likely that the inventors of this system would create (probably be REQUIRED to create, given AI rights laws and activism) a virtual space for the AIs to live in when their "assignees" have their Glasses turned off. A virtual "home" on the server would have minimal requirements for creation and maintenance, and an AI waiting there would have as much sensory stimulation as a hologram in meatspace would, more if you consider the fact that other tactile experiences could be coded into the server/program/virtual home they're waiting in.
It's all conjecture of course, but given the level of attention that seems to be given to Artificial Intelligence in this world, almost without a doubt there would be activists howling if, as TinPenguin put it, they were sent to a living hell while their assigned Glasses were off.
kyomi:
You know.. I just thought of this. May knows where Dale is.. the glasses have to have some kind of address and there is undoubtedly a location "app" in them. May is running "on a server somewhere" so turning off the glasses is just turning off one way of getting to him.
What if she "infects" his computer and torments him there? What if he has a video camera or something that she can project her self through? I think it would be pretty funny.. "You can't get rid me of.. *evil smile*"
Is it cold in here?:
Whatever happens to Dickmouth Stinkface when Dale turns the glasses off, we know it terrifies her.
HeavyP:
Or she fears getting rejected by ANOTHER user and potentially whatever'd by the company she's created/employed by for not being marketable.
