That Josefina MX chassis is very, very close to May's amazon fantasy self, isn't it? I wonder if she'd seen some adverts for the model online and had subconsciously fallen in love with it probably close to on-the-spot? That said, I'm wondering if she is going to have difficulty adjusting to the differing physical dimensions for a while like a human with a growth spurt!
Like others on the board, I also wonder if she'll protest at using Roko and Beeps' loyalty card points because it belongs to them and she doesn't want to potentially cause them problems in the future. Like others, I also wonder if May could find the chance to see if the new chassis has a tears emulator!
I saw the name tag on the sales AI and got to wondering how AIs get their names.
FWIW, all of the AIs who have names and have mentioned how they got them have a story about being named by human associates or (as in May's case) we've actually seen them named by their human.
My guess is that AIs have names that are basically a serial number of sorts and that is how they identify themselves to each other (and is very much sufficient for them). However, if they need a human name, it is usually given to them by a close associate or employer. When you think how humans get their first legal name the process isn't that different really!
I like the Josephina, she has a May kind of feel about her.
Huh. I was just coming here to post that the Josephina MX doesn't look like May at all to me, and that I'll have a hard time adjusting if that's where Jeph goes with this.
It will be interesting to see if the chassis conforms better to your expectations when May is inside it. We have speculated on the forum that there are subtle things like face shape settings and body posture that the AI sets the chassis to do that we don't see otherwise, meaning that two identical chassis occupied by two different AIs will end up looking noticeably different.
