I also don't think we should discount the possibility that AI do have psychosomatic responses. AI are emergent technology, so we're not really sure how they work, in-universe. It seems likely that whatever weird wire-crossing in the brain causes psychosomatic responses in humans would be possible in AI as well. Granted, the bots have more control over what actual input they receive, hence Bubbles not being ticklish due to lack of software, but i don't think that prevents psychosomatic responses developing independently.

One could describe psychosomatic responses as being unexpected and unplanned responses to inputs. That's scarcely a new problem in software. It seems QC universe feasible that a combination of foot position, touch and so on could via a software problem produce an unplanned reaction. I also find it easy to imagine the AIs being happier to describe such as pyscho-somatic rather than as bugs.

The tickle response, without software install, might itself be the "...hitch" for which Officer Basilisk is seeking analysis & repair.
Is it cold in here?:

We know that however they work it will have been chosen to be funny.

Yea, it will probably be heavily dependent on butts.
