I would imagine that even if the AIs could download knowledge like the matrix it wouldn't be immediately recallable. If their "brains" at all mimic ours (an assumption that maybe I shouldn't be making) neural connections to the new info would be very weak or non existent. It would be like me trying to recall things I learned in my freshman year college classes, possible with some effort, some writing, and a review of the material. Information only stays for long when you use it, even hard drives get degraded. AI minds would seem to have more potential than humans, and would probably learn faster, but processors would be a definite bottleneck.
Anyways, Winslow's new body is super cute. I wonder how Pintsize will react to the change.
DaiJB:
I put "other" in the poll basically because I had no idea what Winslow would like (or be good at) in a job :D
Now that I think about it, I reckon Winslow being Winslow, will want to learn what life is like in this new body first - I don't see him jumping in feet-first like Momo. (I still grin at Number 2002 where she gets her revenge on Pintsize!)
Maybe he will take time out, study, take care of Hanners (he really is devoted to her, after all) - and then somewhere down the line, find a job?
edit: I really don't like the floofy pink hair. I hope Winslow doesn't like the pink hair and gets it changed. (Maybe he has Momo's color-changing app? Or is that one of those "extremely specific" features of high-end models mentioned by Iris?)
Eh, it doesn't matter what I think, though - maybe he likes it :-)
BenRG:
So, new comic! It seems that Winslow had an ulterior motive for asking for a chassis and it's exactly the one may people predicted. Once again, Pintsize is the motivating force in the comic!
That aside, it must have been a long time since Dora spent any time with Pintsize. I say that because she actually thinks that being bigger than Pintsize stops him pushing you around. I mean, how much larger than Pntsize is Faye and he even gets away with manipulating her sometimes! Nothing in Dora's direct and personal experience of him should have made her think that this could be the case!

On another topic, why is Winslow assumed to be qualified only for mostly apprentice-level or volunteer jobs? (Presumably robots can achieve journeyman level competency by upload rather that a year or so apprenticeship.) Does the Boy Job/Girl Job "glass ceiling" exist for short robots in the QCverse?

Nurse, EMS responder, teacher's assistant, and dispatcher all require training. At least 2 of those require degrees.
I'm guessing Winslow could download various language packs to be an interpreter, but that's another one that requires extensive training for humans.
I chose teacher's assistant as opposed to outright teacher based on which I assumed he'd likely be more comfortable doing.
Kugai:
Pintsize is going to want one now
This is gonna be interesting.
