Most of the QC AIs are content to be AIs, but Roko is, like Star Trek TNG's Commander Data, trying on some level at least to be human. (Contrast Spock who was half human trying to be all Vulcan - but both filled similar niches in the scripts.) This may explain Roko's difficulties with changing chassis.
Part of the healing process from any trauma, physical or emotional, is coming to accept that nothing will ever again be exactly the way it was. You never "get over" a trauma, but you do get through it. It becomes part of you, your new baseline, and then you can move on. Whether she knows it or not, Roko has to go through this to achieve the (for want of a better term) human soul she's trying to acquire. Spooky knows this and, Trickster Deity style, is taunting her down the path. Roko may not even be aware, at least at this point, that this is her goal.
As the Shadow of the collective of all artificial intelligence, Spooky is intensely interested in machines acquiring spirit on a par with humans.

So instead of _American Gods_, QC is becoming _AI-ican Gods_?

Fingersnapping it into existence? :-D

By creating something you desire, you bias the result. Anything fingersnapped by Spooks would do what Spooks thought it wanted, not what the creation would need to do to be truly independent and bias-free. And therefore NOT what Spooks wanted. To be free of unconscious/subconscious bias, any "peer" of Spooks has to come from outside of Spook's mentality.

Now you have me wanting to see a Tsunderbot. I hear they are a popular model in Japan.
And the discussion about Spookyvoice? I picture a sinister sounding Tara Strong, or maybe Richard Horvitz.

So something vaguely Raven-esque, but less deadpan? Yeah, the more I think about it, the more that seems to fit.
