I’m sure the butt grab felt pretty damn good for both of them. And yes, it was necessary to lift Faye up.
fayelovesbubbles:
Faye: I have no idea what I’m doing.
Bubbles: Nor do I.
Both: Lol jk we have every idea what we’re doing!

Bubbles doesn't have to feel things "the same way" (whatever that means) for her emotions to be valid and meaningful. We all get different things out of relationships and no two people experience the world in the same way. What matters in a relationship is that both people are getting what they want/need from it, not that their respective needs are the same. AI in this fictional world is spontaneously emergent, same as human consciousness. We don't know what all went into influencing how the code coalesced, humans don't even understand how our own consciousness works. The exact mechanics do not need to be fully understood for the experience to be appreciated, respected, and validated.

To badly quote a philosopher whose name I am deeply irritated that I cannot remember, "If they behave as and are perceived to be sentient, the wrong we would do by thinking of them as objects when they are persons far outweighs the mistake of thinking of them as persons if they are objects."

How long until Faye can upload into a robot body? Not a euphemism.
