This is actually a really interesting question to me. Humans can and do mitigate their own symptoms of mental or emotional illness with medication that alters their brain chemistry and helps regulate their moods. Presumably, one could do the same for an AI (assuming you understood the underlying code of their personality well enough) with programming, and you could probably do it more accurately and effectively than humans can with medication (which can be hit or miss).
BUT, that would also be altering their core programming, something that is such a big no-no that even spookybot would be unwilling to do so, even when it would help someone. AIs may have to do without anything like antidepressants for purely ethical reasons.
Mr. Doctor:
I'm getting the feeling that Hannelore is slowing feeling guilty for bringing Winslow to a journey he most likely wouldn't have chosen for himself.
I wonder how the conversation between the two will be.

Thank you; it's not just me then.
--- Quote from: BenRG ---Was Dora saying that Hannelore was reminding her of Beatrice at this point? We all grow up to be our parents in some way and, frankly, from whom else would have young Hannelore have learned the 'listen to me and learn your lesson' facial expression and vocal tone?
--- End quote ---
I'm on board with this. That was my initial reaction as well: "She looks like her mother! Run for it!"
shanejayell:
Yeah, I dunno about asking DORA for AI advice.
Bubbles, maybe. In Hanners' circle of friends...
