Perhaps I am the odd one out.
For me personally, the threshold to call another human being "garbage" (i.e. worthless, to be discarded) is very, very high, and I typically only use that qualification if the person has shown evil intent.
People with flawed behaviors who unintentionally (without malice) hurt others typically don't qualify as garbage to me, especially if I know that the person has a backstory that may have something to do with certain behavioral patterns. I may strongly dislike them, avoid interactions, call them a*holes/d*cks/jerks/etc, but they'd still not be garbage.
To each their own.

The thing about AIs and their age relative to humans vs their maturity is that they seem to be released into the wild fully formed and... well as mature as they get. We have never seen AI as children. If I remember when we first met Momo she was only about three years old, yet she was far more mature than Marigold. Heck she was a more responsible person than most of the cast. I don't know if they are 'born' fully cognitive out of the experience of other AI that came before them or they spend time learning before interacting with the human world but their maturity level and experience with emotion even at a low chronological age seems comparable to adult humans. With the wide range of experience that encompasses.

Its weird. Even when they're cranky or pissy with each other, I still go AWWWW when Faye and Bubbles interact. :-D

Interesting points. At the same time, Momo has displayed a certain curiosity and behavior (especially in her interactions with Sam) that appears more similar to that of a teenager. It seems that AIs are 'released' fully mature in the sense of general knowledge and cognitive skills, but without the experience-informed emotional maturity.
Is it cold in here?:
Momo acted like a teenager in some ways early on ("I'll void my warranty! Then you'll be sorry!"). The maturity and responsibility came later, interestingly about the same time as the humaniform chassis. She still acts more like a 20-year-old than a 60-year-old emotionally.
Faye is taking initiative to deal with the emotional well-being of a friend. That would have been surprising and maybe even impossible for pre-therapy Faye.
