I guess it’s up to the individual. Eye of the beholder. etc…

Right, but we’re talking about fiction here. Does a world populated by machines that do in fact fit whatever criteria are necessary to be called genuine life-forms really require any greater suspension of disbelief than a world populated by magical talking horses?
Please ignore for a second (or forever if it were up to me, but this is irrelevant) that I am responding to a comment three years old, but what is and isn’t ‘life’ is not for your everyday layman to decide. Not even for biologists, though their interpretation can be trusted since they know the definition of life and all its requirements.
Robots can therefore not be living organisms until they meet all the criteria.
Of course, that’s what Ned Ludd said, too. And Fritz Lang, and…well, you get the drift.
Robots can be living organisms.
Granted, machine-life generally doesn’t have instruction manuals either.
Living organisms do not have instruction manuals nor heartdrives.
They have brains and hearts.
And she has a full range of emotions installed on her heartdrive. Such as sad, angry and file not found.
She doesn’t know she is a robot at least within the FIW canon
