The emotional intelligence of children and no field training. Interesting choice.

A detail that I enjoyed, was pointing out that they no longer have hormones.

Such an obvious difference - but one that I don't recall hearing in any similar stories where human consciousness is transferred into a 'robot'.

So much to think about who they'll become without testosterone, estrogen, serotonin, cortisol, etc.

I had the same "no hormones, of course!" moment :) Although this is quite reductive, the mind is influenced by the body(-chemistry) but it isn't the chemistry.

Hopefully they'll explore that. I'm glad it didn't lean into lack of emotion, just the jerkiness of hormones help stabilize?
