I mean, i wasn’t
But that shit is notoriously undetermined law right now.
However given that this comic takes place in...Seattle, right? I am guessing that that federal circuit has settled on pro-consumer protections without even looking it up since that would take a lot of time and I don’t wanna.
I don’t think any of that would actually be relevant for this case, though. When you consider how the law treats homes (providing special warranties and protections for home ownership because of how ‘the home is your castle,’ i.e. damage to one’s home is one of the few property damages you can recover emotional distress damages from) that the state of Washington would have enacted specific laws about protections that you would have regarding a full body for an AI like that.
And given that it’s Washington we’re talking about, regardless of how settled EULAs are the protections the state law would provide would supersede that.
My two cents.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Whaaat? JJ writing something without thinking it through? Perish the thought.
It's a fictional future world. The laws being different in our current world does not constitute him "not thinking it through." That's dumb.
Also I am talking about some incredibly niche laws here that you’d have to be looking out for specifically. Just giving my thoughts on how it’d actually work (and just because state law would supersede a EULA doesn’t mean that a company wouldn’t still try to do it)
"I knew there was something wrong!"
Like, one week ago you were certain that there was nothing that anyone could do, and you were just succumbing to the inexhaustible ravages of Time.
Seriously. "She is obsessed with you!" Uh, duh, some weird temporal crap has dumped two Annies onto everyone's lap. I'd be a bit focused on that myself if that happened to my best friend.

Quite possibly she is 'obsessed' with the fact that her best friend is still trapped in the forest with an incredibly unstable Trickster god.
It's like Speed; somebody's gotta be unreasonably upset or the webcomic explodes
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

Based on the artwork and the cutscenes, that is definitely trying to be some budget animated Batman with guns (and dragons, I guess?). I wonder if they asked Kevin Conroy to do the voice, or went straight for Kevin Conroy sound-alike.

It's like analyzing Captain Planet villains for how sensible their plans are

I wonder if I can find the twitter thread that was like, "humans are terrifying to aliens because they will try to domesticate everything"
I just googled that and holy shit it is an actual thing.
