I'm not sure its always been 100% consistent in the past either. and you know what? Doesn't matter.

I always appreciated the differentiation with AI's speaking in a hard rectangle to indicate that their voice probably sounds a little less than natural, and that Yay got round speech bubbles to indicate that they were advanced enough to accurately sound like a human. So it feels like all of a sudden they've somehow lost the ability to speak in perfect imitation of a human voice.

Or yay sounds more roboty for Roko

I looked through some of the comics with Yay and it seems to go back and forth, even with Roko. In the early ones their speech bubbles are always round, and even up to 3838, but then at 3920 their bubbles are rectangular all through the conversation with Roko. In 3969 it's round among themselves, and ditto for the conversations with Roko starting at 4035 & 4108, but now at 4183 we're back to rectangular. So either it's random or maybe one of their bodies has a voice more like a typical AI than the other bodies.

There's an interesting idea. What if Yay modulates their voice in accordance with whether they're speaking to an AI or a human? It could also be determined by which type of voice Yay thinks who they're speaking to be more comfortable with.

Seems likely. As impressive as Spookybot’s abilities are I think they are getting a little reckless spending so much time in the open.
