I expect Blake to be really, really upset about Ironwood's company creating sentient and expendable sentient androids like Penny to fight their wars for them. She'll see it as just a logical extension of the abuse of Faunus labour. Weiss will say something tactless and might even get scolded by Ruby for it and Yang will probably be the only one who genuinely worries about whether they'll get in trouble for 'borrowing' a multi-billion-lien prototype like Penny without authorisation. Actually, while I would not be surprised for Blake to be a bit cold about Penny and be especially unsympathetic to her struggles, I think Weiss would sort of geek out and it would easily resolve her primary issue with Penny. She may be the one with the least trouble given that Atlas is a highly technological society where androids and AI are presumably abundant. Encountering an android that she completely mistook for an awkward human would probably tickle her pink and bring out the giddy, excited Weiss we have glimpsed a few times. She may even take it upon herself to instruct Penny in how to behave like a normal human, which will severely aggravate everyone else as Weiss becomes particularly obnoxious with her lessons.

Expect the others to think like you are, though. Sort of like:

Weiss: Wait, you're saying that dopey girl is actually an android?

Ruby: Yeah, Penny just told me.

Weiss: *walks up to Penny* Really? Is it true? Are you an android?

Penny: *sheepishly* Um. . . well. . . yes.

Weiss: *lowers her head* That's. . . that's. ..

Yang: Uh-oh, here it comes.

Weiss: That's. . . *looks up with an ecstatic gleam in her eye* INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

Yang, Blake, and Ruby: *wide-eyed* Uhhhh. . . what?

Cue Weiss touching and examining all the various parts of Penny's body while making a bunch of nerdy inquiries about her maker, designs, and how long she has been operational as the rest of Team RWBY stand there perfectly still in slackjawed bewilderment at seeing a side of Weiss they never knew existed.
