It seems likely to me that this is a set-up of some kind. I suspect May is (possibly unwittingly) doing the dirty work of Someone Else. She seems to be showing signs of being abused...but not by Dale--by whoever or whatever is in "ro-".
Haven't seen a true intrigue plot out of Jeph in some time, and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching this one unfold.
The animated effect is quite nice... it didn't show up right on my phone so I didn't notice it until it was mentioned in this thread.

That's it!
She's a slave laborer AI in a sweatshop in ro-wherever, and Dale will be starting a quest to rescue them (there has to be more than one, no?) and expose this problem of the lack of AI rights in other parts of the world...
Y'know, it sounds less and less likely the more I type it out. Oh, well. It won't happen anyway now that I've said it.
Is it cold in here?:
That's making more and more sense, actually. AI rights almost certainly vary around the world.
Though, what stops an AI from emigrating? Somebody made of bits who has an Internet connection could be anywhere in the world within seconds.

He spent an entire day with her, to our perspective doing nothing but shooting down the aforementioned bad suggestions, before he reached his tolerance limit. The one time she acted helpful, it was by rattling off functions in an annoying manner. And she's hiding something. I'm still reserving judgement, but she's literally not said one kind, cute, or even neutral thing. I'm expecting that when we see her again, we'll also see another side to her that explains her belligerent behavior and is decent- still crass probably, but decent.
There is a bit of tethercat principle going on here because every time we look we only see the bad stuff she says, not the in between stuff, the long silences just watching him work, and so on.

I see yours and everyone elses opinion as not without validation but.. I just seem to identify with her for some reason.
She has said he was the 15th person.. (maybe there was more?) so she's a bit upset... but I thought it would be funny having those suggestions throughout the day. Maybe she was going on about that just to fill the silence? About all Dale has said to her all day was "no" and not even talking with her :/
I realize I'm probably the only one with this view but that's what makes it interesting :)

Because it's simpler.
Oh, and the whole translation name change thing.
