But again, having her body work control sticks and pedals wouldn't really make sense. Humans need the control sticks because they need it to control the machine. Since Alice is an AI, she can physically control the body without need of sticks. So instead of having to use the controls to imperfectly simulate human movement, it'd be far smarter, efficient, and easier to just make human movements with the machine. - It would also be a good explanation for why she has such an edge over human pilots, on top of the fact that she doesn't feel G forces and the like.
