Mrs. Davis is more than whimsical. I'm starting to think that maybe the AI isn't an AI, but an intervention by a deity pretending to be an AI. It would explain why the same quest is given to Sister Simone from Mrs Davis and her god. It also explains why some users are given "wings" to recognise their service to the A.I.

Most theories I've seen suggest that it was created by Simone's mom. Whenever Simone mentions her mom, Mrs. Davis responds with "Redirecting..." suggesting that the algorithm has a special relationship with her.

Interesting. I hadn't read any fan theories about it and hadn't spotted that it was after a mention of Simone's mum. There's a few days until episode 8 is out, so I'll have to wait to see what mysteries are revealed.

It doesn't sit right with me that Simone's mum would be Mrs Davis' creator as she hasn't shown any computing credentials, but is more into practical engineering and tricks.
