How hetero-normative :P Maybe you get 10 or so antroPCs in a circle with an empty chassis in the middle then each of them squirts a few packets into the blank.

I didn't even realize that one was so long. Maybe I'll hafta read through again soon, I've only done it twice.

However they're made, if Faye started making Dino-Chassis for them, the comic could turn Jurassic Park.

There was a comic that covered that. Don't know for the life of me what number it was, though.

From the above comics/links/author notes, I assume that there's a way to intentionally make AI from scratch (I don't remember anything about it being emergent, though I could be wrong), each with a unique personality (Jeph mentions them being stored with their, "Siblings," as opposed to just repeatedly cloned, which implies individuality).
The mechanics of this are unknown. I'd guess that the AI are either pseudo-randomly generated or designed by someone competent who us unlikely to screw it up or violate ethics, most likely the AI overmind.
The purpose of AnthroPCs is potentially a form of diplomacy, ensuring that humanity views AI as, "People," and, "Friends," rather than some foreign nation. (Compare your feelings to someone you know on the net vs real life.)
