Is it cold in here?:
It does say something about Momo that she acknowledges necessity and the existence of desperate people along with her quest for all AIs to be respectable.
Yes, I said "people". They're not homo sapiens and not made of proteins but so what?
Radium_Coyote:
I don't remember seeing anyone in this comic yet suggesting that AIs were not people. And if they did I suspect the absurdity of that wouldn't play very long.

you've phrased that as though you expect someone to dispute it.

With Momo, the accent on "goody-goody" is on the "good". While many "goody-goodies" are self-righteous prigs, nasty, intolerant and cruel, some of them are just trying to be the best person they can be, and that means not being an asshole.
Yes, she thought of reporting it. May showed her that that action would have a non-zero asshole content.
J:
yeah, pretty much.
still, the fact that she requires justification for bots who behave out of line with her personal ideology does inch her into 'annoyingly
judgmental doogooder' territory for me. though that's still a long way off from 'self-richeous asshole' jurisdiction.
