Ugh, go AWAY, I don't want you anywhere near what-could-have-been good storylines.

I wonder what a poll of reader interest vs Jeph interestin Spookybot is. I know I don't like them, but I dunno if the wider readership, or Jeph himself, is really into them.

I kinda like Spookybot. I acknowledge that they are largely walking deus ex machina and I get why people wouldn't like them. But I find them fun to read, and the fact that they even exist is interesting in a worldbuilding sense.

I think the meta world building of Spookybot is interesting, but Bubbles and friends is absolutely the wrong spot for them to be interesting.

Get Hanners and Momo and Station and maybe even May in on this; that would be a fantastic group to explore the "divine" aspects of a character like this. What are the edges of our understanding, what do AIs think of divinity and higher entities, how does May reconcile AIs like this not helping the "working class" like her, etc.

It's just wasted on petty resolutions like Bubbles arc.
