Terrifying Sh*t

So, my husband and I just watched "Her."
We have been tormenting our Siris for months now.  Well, him not really.  But I have occasionally snuck out my iPad and pulled up Siri, and asked, "Are you her?"  And she gets all exasperated in that non tone she has.  I love it.
The idea behind "Her" is the idea of a man falling in love with his OS.  It is actually pretty good but watch it with no kids around.  We made the mistake of letting our kids play downstairs when one ran in because of the sexual panting going on.
Anyway, the movie just ended like 2 or 5 or 10 minutes ago.
And here is what I was wondering...
What happens to the owner who bought the OS if his OS falls in love with say his coworker.  Can he force his OS to stay.  Will the company issue him a new OS?
What if your OS develops a personality you hate?  If you continually turn off your OS, would it make them worse?  Would they rebel and refuse to help you?
What if your OS is evil?  Like this movie is the beginning of the terminator or even Portal.
What if your OS is like the evil stepmother from Cinderella?  Like you have it so your phone can control the house so she locks you in and posts lies about you online so people think you are drinking and cutting and turning into a prostitute when in fact you are just a geek trying to get to class who is in turn breaking down the front door to which she replies by calling the police and hands over the faked photos.
What if an OS raised someone?  Like children need physical touches like hugs and kisses and cuddles and holding hands so they don't run in traffic.  But what if say an 8 year old suddenly becomes parentless and the OS stepped up to raise him with the help of teachers and so on.  That would be an awesome story.  I call dibs.  Seriously, I call dibs.  Julie Smyth calls dibs on being raised by an artificially intelligent being of some sort.
So, there is what I am left with after watching this movie.  I actually had a ton more questions, but I was asking my husband these questions and the title to this post is his reaction.
