* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Zig-zagged. AIs have been granted full civil rights and those which are "sold" in stores are ones that choose to meet and bond with people. [[http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1996 Such contracts can be ended by either party and the cost is refunded to the purchasing party.]] It's unclear how recently robots got those rights (earlier in the strip Pintsize and Winslow shrug off the idea of equal rights [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=668 since it would mean equal responsibility]]), but generally speaking, this series is heavily on the idealistic side about human-robot interactions. Still, robots who try to integrate with human society face prejudice at times, and robots who don't want or can't afford a decent humanoid-shaped chassis can end up being marginalized in comparison to robots like Momo or Winslow post-upgrade. The issue is also muddied by cases where robots seem to be fine with treatment that humans would consider abusive or degrading: Pintsize clearly doesn't see the violence inflicted on him in response to his ComedicSociopathy as abuse, and AIs can voluntarily end up in menial jobs as appliances like [[http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1999 toasters]], [[http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=2001 humidifiers]], and [[http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=2131 trash cans]], which would seem more like an AndIMustScream situation to a human.
** there is no specific evidence that all AI are of equivalent processing power. Station is clearly a very high-powered example. Momo remarks that much of her processing power goes on maintaining her consciousness. Some have highly refined olfactory senses, but Bubbles states that her “sensorium” offers a much reduced range of sensations compared to a human.
