Basically what I was thinking. She vented and satisfied her immediate impulse, which was to take out her frustrations about the shite she's dealing with in her life on a convenient target who presented himself.

... actually deserving or not. He was, as you say, a convenient target, nothing more. Someone she could reach to punch - up, down, doesn't matter.
What's that Granny Weatherwax quote about treating people like things?
(rhetorical question)

Nahhh!!!!
Surely not??
Maybe it's just me, but I quite enjoy a pertinent gif (animated or otherwise) when there's little else to respond with.
(I have been known to do so myself!) :angel:

?
I usually add a quote when I want a specific forumite to know that my response is about their post(s) - so, e.g. if Cornelius feels condescended to due to the Yoda-pic (I hope not), I'd like to know.
I thought the line of his that I quoted to be a fine conclusion -> hence the Yoda.

Extrapolating from what Jeph has revealed about QC-verse AI society - Robots value the sanctity of the mind far above sanctity of the body chassis, and robot ...ah...intimacy happens over USB cables (no doubt over Ethernet or WiFi, too, but USB allows privacy). I think we can safely assume that establishing a data link is far more meaningful than physical proximity to most AIs. Further, isolation from interconnectivity would definitely be unpleasant enough to be used as punishment.
So, visitation in 'bot jail may well consist of being permitted severely restricted network connectivity to communicate with specific entities, AI or human.
Robot religion? John Ellicott-Chatham is The Creator, although nothing in-strip so far indicates that AIs do anything around him that we would recognize as worship. (So is the Spookybot Collective some kind of Fallen Angel?)
