I hope I'm not imposing on you: Did you never encounter a 'text' (I'd include e.g. math-textbooks into that definition - math is a language, too, in a sense) that you had to read several times to understand it?

Not at all. Breakfast in the belly, coffee in the cup, it's time for laptop on the lap. (The cat will be by shortly with something to say about that last and who ought to be there, but you catch my drift.)
Once in a blue moon, when a topic that really grabs me is presented unusually well, I'll pick something up the first time through. But that's the rare exception - usually I'm going over stuff at least a few times and sometimes quite a few.
My computer, OTOH, nearly always gets the data the first time through and throws an error on those rare occasions something gets munged. If I tell it to index the file, that takes a little more time.
Neuroscientists tell us we have to lay down neural pathways to record every thought. Silicon brains are better at that input and access part than carbon brains are, they just flip bits to record and file as per their operating system and move on. An AI would, however, have to write their own new code for how they're going to apply that data, and that's where experience comes in. Momo is adept at developing her own code for social interactions, May not so much.

--- End quote ---
I throw a distinction between skill and talent/aptitude into the mix as well, with talent innate while skill needs to be developed. Both have to do with what and how the entity, meat or metal, does with knowledge.
JimC:
On a completely different topic, boob jobs for AIs ought to be a simple and easy earner for Faye and Bubbles...
Reaver:
I'm just confused as to why May decided to ask Roko for a new body...literally after Roko lost her job ._.;
TheEvilDog:
Maybe May thinks Roko knows where all the best confiscated chassis are, like the Police Impound Lot?

She didn’t. She used her own cut rate chassis as an example of one of the ways criminal AI get shafted by the system and one of the things Roko, in her quest to improve the lot of the robot ex-con, could look into.
