...are you aware of the irony of making that ridiculously generalized claim HERE of all places?
Jeph is in a relationship.

Responding only for myself, the woman speaker whose name I cannot remember (dammit) was referring to comic book superhero artists. And you cannot deny that fabric, in particular spandex and its relatives, does NOT behave in the real world the way it does in the comic book world. Nor do most skeletal or muscular structures. Indeed, I begin to think the most commonly required superpower, tvtropes be damned, is the resistance to spinal problems later in life and the ability to recover from some of those poses into which (especially) superheroine characters are drawn.
Jeph's depiction of anatomy, making allowances for his consciously chosen and evolved style, is among the more realistic.
GarandMarine:
Swears constantly, impulse control issues, wants to be a jet fighter. That seals it. May is clearly my spirit animal.
Overkillengine:
You'd think an AI would realize they have all the time in the world to earn the money needed to buy such a thing; unless they have some sort of built in obsolescence?
Border Reiver:
So, no way she could have volunteered for military service?
Unless of course there's some sort of pre/early ACW nonsense about how AIs could not possibly be employed in fighting roles due to (insert racist rant here)

If they can match up AI's to people as companions, then presumably AIs can be screened for certain jobs. It's reasonable to speculate that she did apply and got turned down as somebody decided that no way in hell should she be put in charge of weapons. Probably she was considered not even responsible enough to be a civilian aircraft.
Though somebody then put her in a position where she could access millions of dollars of other people's money. Which is fair enough as that kind of monumental cock-up seems to be a semi-routine part of the RL world of finance.
