--- Quote from: Magniras on 04 Aug 2017, 09:08 ---I dont think chassis choice has anything to do with passing as human, given the skin color choices that AI have, but more to do with pre/post-singularity purpose. Jeremy and Seven are both industrial AI, and their new chassi reflect that. Pintsize probably is more human than the two of them will ever be becuase pre-singularity, he was designed to be as human as possible. Same with Momo, Winslow, and Bubbles. May is an outlier, because she didnt get a choice in her chassis, but I'm willing to bet that she'd have something totally inhuman, like a satellite or a drone.

I quite agree; after all, Pintsize is still, despite everything, a companion AI.
As for May, she's made it quite clear she wanted to be a fighter jet.

Whats the betting that the sales lass has picked Hannelore either as who she is or at very least being a high value customer and is starting with the top of the range models? I imagine, for example Hanners has no need to stick to the budget brands of clothing and is identifisble as having significant resources even before she gets out her unobtanium American express card..
Its an argument, BTW, against Ellicot-Chatham being much involved with chassis manufacture, since if they were wouldnt the two of them be looking at whats new and superior in next months model range rather than going to the local retail.
Cant help thinking Winslow might be better of with generic androgynous chassis with accessories for gender identity. Its just struck me that Winslow's "I think Im a boy" has two entirely different meanings - in Brit English anyway - depending on intonation.

I doubt that Hanners buys top-of-the-line, just-out-of-Paris clothing. That's not who she is. I suspect that her clothing is selected for antimicrobial properties, or ability to be machine washed in scalding hot water. Would she even be aware of what is fashionable this week?
On the other hand, I suspect that every AI recognizes Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham on sight.

He has been without visibly recognizable gender for some time. I interpret his statement as meaning that he wants to be recognized and treated as male for a change. And if it turns out he doesn't like it, Union Robotics is just a couple blocks away.
