Passive-aggressive or just 'regular old aggressive' behavior helps nobody. Let's work this out.
The way you're phrasing things still seems to come across as 'she can and will make them do what she wants', regardless of the other AI's feelings on the matter. I understand that she will try to cozy up to them, try and make friends, and generally be very nice; and this is a wonderful character trait to have. But you seem to be assuming that the AI she makes contact with will go along with what she wants.
There will be AI/programs that will not be so friendly -- but who are still susceptible to her powers, as they will have been made at an earlier time than her/her world. Take, for example, the programs (from Tron!verse). They are literally computer programs. From the example you gave (the number-recognition program), you make it seem like she can make it do whatever she wants it to do. I can tell you that most players won't want to tag a character that can potentially godmod their character into doing stuff they wouldn't otherwise do.
I'm probably phrasing this oddly, and I'm very sure you wouldn't use this power maliciously or as an opportunity to mess with characters. But I would strongly advise you to throw up a permissions post, just in case anyone would like to let you know what is and isn't cool with Maria doing stuff with their characters.
OOC contact is good and all! And I'm glad you're offering that. But sometimes a permissions post is the easiest way to soothe someone's worries.
