--- Quote from: oeoek on 25 Aug 2017, 09:59 ---I think of AI's chassis as clothes, more than as body parts. And you can still use clothes, even when you are not wearing them, to put stuff in pockets, rest a weary head on and such. And clearly, even without sentience, the tablet is still a tablet. Nothing weird about it, I would say

I get what you are saying, and I agree, somewhat. However, I still find him using his old chassis as a tablet a bit creepy. And would he need to do that anyway? I thought the AIs had a neural interface into the net built in?

Perhaps for the same reason some of us meat users still prefer a separate pocket calculator to the one that comes with your OS accessories - they just find it easier to use. Or in this case Winslow may be practicing acting like a meat person.
Kugai:
They cancel each other out
Perfect pairing

Maybe, but still weird. It must take so much longer! I mean, contrast writing up something on a mobile or tablet with doing it on a keyboard or just speaking it into a microphone - it must be so much easier to use. Or he's not actually looking stuff up but is checking up on the progress of the millionth wipe he had his old body undergo - as far as I know, he still wants to donate it.
Also, that's how you do it. In a personal space, in private. I mean, yes, May had less choice than Winslow since he doesn't volunteer yet, but don't you think it's really rude to show up to another's place of work for minor personal things? Yeah, Winslow didn't think about it, but Hanners should know better. But then again she is used to the Coffee-of-Doom-style bring-your-drama-to-work-management, so maybe she doesn't?

And just today, elseforum, someone reminded me of this background gag from Top Secret!, in which the tables are turned, as it were:

Is it cold in here?:
If Winslow ends up having regular conversations with May then he is going to expand his horizons.
