What the hell, Emily. How is that even.. I mean, Emily manages to interact with people on a regular basis, and don't get punched in the face that much. But as of now, she has a remarkable track record with AI - she punched Pintsize, manages to push Momos buttons and now she wants to hammer Bubbles?
I.. I can't say I like it very much. Or maybe I should be happy that she graduated from physical attacks and groping to asking first.
osaka:
She is a computer science student. I can tell that we have very little care about general computing components, both ours and of other people, at least from my experience (both myself and close friends). Emily might not have dissociated those from the AIs.
I don't know how I'd handle myself when meeting an AI honestly, although I guess that physical assault would be completely out of the question.
chaospersonified:
In her defense, Swapna, have you ever hit a truly solid object, say a concrete floor, or potentially, a military-grade droid chassis, with a rubber mallet? Shit's fun. Bouncy-bouncy.
I agree it's troubling, but I've had a lot of fun with rubber mallets before. Painful fun on at least one occasion when it bounced back a bit further than I expected, but it left no permanent marks. My soft human child-face took a bit of bruising, but no scarring. I think Emily's got about the same excitable brain as I had when I was then, so I think I understand her motivation in this. Like you said, at least she asked.
Welu:
Faye's splotchy stained top is annoying me. I know whatever she wears is bound to get dirty in her work but looking at it makes me feel unclean.
Akima:
Why does CoD have a rubber mallet? For mashing the banana smoothies?
People do seem to have a tendency to intrude into the personal-space of AIs. We've had Hannelore "squeaking" Momo's epidermis, and Emily denting Pintsize, pushing Momo's belly button to cycle her hair-colours, and now wanting to hammer Bubbles. Of course Momo gave Pintsize a bit of a pounding too. Anyone might think that QC was supposed to be a funny comic or something.
