I really want Melon, Emily and Evie to interact. Especially Melon and Emily.
Edit- And this made me notice a business opportunity:
Dora and Faye should open a Coffee of Doom branded Tea kiosk inside Union Robotics. The AI clients will love it and we, the audience, can get to interact more with whatever part of the CoD staff that's working there for the day.

How is that different from checking for pedestrians before you drive your car through an intersection?

When you run someone over in a conversation, it's a metaphor, when you run them over in an intersection, it's (potentially) negligent manslaughter?
P.S.: Please don't take that as my arguing against your point, IICIH, it's just ... maybe not the best example to illustrate it?

Checking for pedestrians is a relatively simple (and nearly-instinctive) exercise in visual pattern recognition. Checking for offence in a written comment requires a prolonged consideration of every phrase attempting to predict in advance how the most unpredictable thing in psychology - the human consciousness - will respond to any given phrase for motives about which you can only speculate and are always mutating into new variations.

Is it cold in here?:
Just so. Maybe a better example is checking spelling and grammar before releasing a document. All part of not embarrassing yourself, and consideration for your audience.
