Actually, we've seen it before a few times, like here.
Nepiophage:
Hooray, Pink Floyd! When are going to See Emily Play?
Near Lurker:

Maybe, but I'd kind of assumed they were just using "they" because they were talking so abstractly.
A small perverse otter:

--- Quote from: Pogopotamus on 10 Dec 2018, 14:48 ---So ...assuming AIs get to "choose" a body and Bubbles appears to be a MILspec super duty fighting/military chassis that (assumedly) she got when she became a solider do we further assume they get to keep whatever hardware they had from the last job they performed? You'd think the military might want that specialized hardware chassis back for re-use or just might not want it wandering around the civilian landscape. They did take back Pintsize's death ray.

Hmmmmh - Yes, they took Pintsize's laser (which, I hasten to add, he was prone to firing at anything that took his fancy, apropos nothing at all) but not his body. Presumably, the QC-verse AIs have 'an opinion' about taking away an intelligence's body they've accustomed to - probably less extreme than humans would rate the equivalent treatment applied to one of their own, but I doubt it would qualify for 'charitably', 'enthusiastic' or 'kindly'.

This makes me think about robot jail. It seems like May had no physical presence anywhere while she was in robot jail; she was only visible outside through Dale's Magic Glasses (TM). Even now, she does not like the chassis she has, but she doesn't have the money to replace it with one that, you know, doesn't fall apart for no apparent reason.
BenRG:
New Comic Up!
Elliott is simply the sweetest guy, isn't he? He literally is so desperate to be nice and helpful to people that he even lets himself come out worse in the deal! Consider that he barely knows Roko except as a customer and a neighbour whom he occasionally may exchange a head-nod with in the corridors! No wonder Jim feels the need to protect him from himself!
That said, Elliott really needs to be careful. People are going to assume that he's got a crush on a certain synthetic femme rather than him just being a nice and somewhat shy guy responding to the needs of a strong personality!
