Considering Simone's contempt for magicians, as well as the ever-present nature of the eponymous artificial intelligence, forcing could have multiple meanings. Though she isn't exactly keen on her quest for the Holy Grail, it is important to remember that two drastically different entities have given Simone this objective. Both Jay (Andy McQueen) and Mrs. Davis want Simone to find said legendary object, and neither specifies exactly why.
However, if she succeeds, the outcome is one that Simone very much wants: Mrs. Davis will turn off permanently. When one takes a step back and looks at the bigger picture, this certainly looks like a magician's force, with the choice being not whether or not Simone will accept the quest but her motives for doing so. Is she being guided by her vows as a nun or by her contempt for the artificial intelligence that has come to dominate almost everybody's life in a short amount of time?
Even though Simone is definitely aware of stage magic and hypersensitive to the mind games involved, it seems as if she hasn't actually considered that she's been forced all along. Still, her intelligence and familiarity with magic-based theatrics are sure to play a major component throughout "Mrs. Davis."
