Yeah... This is a 'dolphins know they're smarter because...' situation, isn't it? It's hard to imagine yourself as being the top of the intellectual food chain when you know members of your own species!

I do seem to be obsessing on this somewhat, but...
Wasn't it initially established, by virtue of their using rounded rather than squared speech bubbles, that Yay is/are NOT AI? That they were, in some sense at least, more organic?
That all seems to have fallen by the wayside now that Jeph has been giving them the standard AI speech bubbles of late. Where/when/how did this change come about? Did it just become too difficult of a concept to maintain? Deliberate retcon, or editorial lapse?

I always thought of speech bubbles as a way to express how the voice sounds, rather than if it's AI or not. Square bubbles sounding more synthetic, in speech pattern and/or timbre. The fact that most AIs get square bubbles may be a "Synth Pride" thing - I believe that, by now, technology should allow AIs to sound exactly as humans.
Perfectly Reasonable:
I think I am starting to like Yay.
