Oh yeah, definitely. Given enough time. AIs are amazingly complex. When one is allowed more free range, as Sally has been, they’re also prone to a process similar to mutation in organics. It would take a deft hand and a lot of patience to fully back up a complex AI like this.
NOOOO! Dammit, first you kill off the crew of Cap’n Jellybeard, now you’re going to kill Sally!? Who are you people, George RR Martin?
Anytime something you don’t like happens in the comic it was Jess’s idea 😉
Wait, couldn’t they like… I don’t know, copy Sally’s CPU or something so she doesn’t have to die. You know, make a backup copy of her or something?

Not to mention Natalie was the only one who could fit down the shaft to her processing center. http://daxcomics.net/comic/the-fringe-page-21/
