I noticed that you referred to an AI with a disembodied voice as "her". Not that unusual, as sailors (even today) refer to ships as "her", and Davy Crockett named his rifle "Old Betsy".

But, it does beg the question: will you feel bad when you 'remove' her? (Will she? Shouldn't you ask?)

I do like to use the "her" pronoun for prized possessions. Favorite car or whatever.

I will not feel bad for her. I don't feel like I should ask.
