Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, grasslad!
We don't really know how AnthroPCs develop the personalities they have. Maybe some hilarious algorithmic botch of analyzing Dale's search history led to (mis)shaping Dickmouth Stinkface's psyche.

I am pretty sure that would be murder.

Sure, but who's watching? I propose that generating a new AI is computationally expensive, to the extent that only 100 supercomputers in the world are capable of it, and these are carefully monitored.

..did you really just suggest that murdering sentient life forms is okay as long as no one notices?
TinPenguin:
I think perhaps Perfectly Reasonable was proposing that major corporations with a monopoly on the creation of said lifeforms might deem it acceptable. À la Kara.
However, in QCverse, while AnthroPCs are not cheap, it seems the chief expense is the chassis, because the AI has civil rights, and to sell one you have created would be legally analogous to selling your child (and perhaps this is why the hardware is so expensive).

Anybody seen a Bird of Prey hovering over Northampton?

This will be my head canon from now on. Though I'll make it a Warbird, because they are hilariously shaped.

Seems to be how it works in the real world.
