Nah, she just wears it because it's comfortable and she likes the style.
SpanielBear:
Roko seems to be the most humanophilic AI in the comic, as far as I can tell. At least insofar as she mimics human behaviours, including fainting and touch sensitivity. At this point, it's hard not to see her lifestyle as a genuine desire to be as human as possible. It's be interesting to know how much that desire is conscious or unconscious.
I think she's great. As a way of exploring the differences between humans and AI, having a character in one camp trying to fit into the other is a really good way of highlighting similarities and conflicts. I don't know where Jeph intends to take it, but there are a lot of possibilities.
JimC:
Melon seems to have a problem with identifying stuff lying on the pavement. I just hope the next misidentification isn't dog-s*** or used nappies...

Just maybe - somewhere in the middle ground - Roko will meet a certain human who has stated that he is trying to understand AI's as much as possible? I don't know what would come of that meeting either - but again, there would be a number of possibilities!
TheEvilDog:
This might be just me, but I find that the more Melon appears, the less I like her.
It might be the off-the-wall nature or that she's so eccentric, but every time she's in a comic her likeability drops five points.
Again, that's probably just me.
