Comics up!

Aww, no scandals for Dora.

(It would be funny for her to immediately realize Marigold is a streamer after this.)

--- Quote from: Shjade on 18 May 2021, 15:30 ---Humans can do that, but it's as often unconscious as conscious. I suspect that's not the case with AI, or at least less commonly.

You can suspect it, but there's no evidence of it. In fact there's evidence of the contrary. Look at Basilisk and her Boston accent.

--- End quote ---

That evidence proves it, not disproves it. Her normal patterns aren't a Boston accent, they're a basic accent that's indistinguishable- but when she's upset enough, her control erodes and the Boston accent in her comes out. Just as I suspect that May's accent is her own doing, with how little self-control she has shown her neutral accent patterns aren't there often if ever.

--- End quote ---
Again, humans do this too. Plenty of humans who grew up with a strong regional accent but have since shed it slip into their original accent in emotionally heightened circumstance. It's not an AI thing, it's a people (which includes AI) thing.

St.Clair:
Dora, you are not exactly covering yourself in glory of late.

Scarlet Manuka:
Why is that etymological fact something Hannelore happens to know off the top of her head?

It's been established that Claire and Aurelia are interested in this sort of thing, so I could see that response coming from them, or from an AI character who might just be looking it up on the fly, but I struggle to imagine Hannelore wanting to look up the etymology of those words.

Penquin47:
Hanners mentions that she has a photographic memory when Tilly is trying to sell her on why she needs a PA.  It's possible she looked it up once to settle a bet, or after a conversation with Pintsize, or just one of those random "I went to Wikipedia to look up tapirs and now I'm reading about medieval Italian painting and it was on the way" nights when she couldn't sleep.  (Don't ask, I don't know what path would get you there, but it's Wikipedia.  I'm sure it could.)
