Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT June 7th - June 11th (4541-4545)
Oenone:
It’ll be interesting to see the “sides” that form if Pintsize wants to break his contract — based on Marigold and Momo, the assumption seems to be that humans do the rejecting, not the other way around.
Mr Intrepid:
That's always been the tenet, from where I sit, that the AI and the human companion, contract with each other. The question arises: with whom does the ownership of the chassis reside? Does Marten still have a proprietary interest in Pintsize's chassis? Or does it amortize over time, and devolve to the AI? It seems we've seen both. Marigold and Hanilore "gifted" the new chassis that Momo and Winslow received. May got hers via crowdfunding. Bubble's chassis was perhaps declared surplus and transferred to her?

I could be wrong, but hasn’t it been established in-comic long ago that each side can basically choose to end it whenever they want to? I.e. basically like any friendship, anAI can leave anytime they want to.
I imagine in the contract it may be explicitly stated that the human under no circumstances has any claim over their companions chassis, otherwise there would way too often be a warped power dynamic.
Farideh:
Yes, either party can leave the contract.
Gus_Smedstad:
I was thinking "how did she find that comic? That seems really difficult" and then I thought "does Google image search work with suitable keywords?"
Yes, yes it does. #2284 is the second hit for "questionable content contract."
