WCDT strips 4016-4020 (3rd to 7th June 2019)
hedgie:
This might be one of those "ask them" situations. May is offended by the r-word, and prefers 'android'. Momo seems to be fine with both 'robot' and 'ai'. I'm still under caffeinated, so I can't recall the views of other robo-sapiens in the comic.

A Big 01001111?
Thrillho:
Sometimes I think May irritates me so much because she reminds me of myself :psyduck:
Roborat:
May looks so proud of herself in the last panel.

No, I don't think the name granted them at the very beginning of QC answers that debate. They may have originally been conceived as merely intelligent computers, but the comic has evolved since then, AIs arguably more than any other aspect of the strip.

Yes, I can't recall a single instance of behaviour that cannot be explained by the simple observation that they are people, an emergent intelligence like us. Even referring to them as "artificial intelligence" does not sit particularly well with me. AIs in QC would, I daresay, bear about as much resemblance to AI in our universe as a drink from a Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser does to tea.
