Whoops! *lol* I guess all 3 appeared as avatars, since Marigold didn't go "Hey! That's Marten and Claire!"

But the only animalistic robot I recall was a nightmare fuel spider. (maybe Yelling Bird was an AI?)
I find it easy to imagine AI companions who might opt for 'dog' (especially Winslow - I can see Winslow as a golden retriever). I can imagine Yay Newfriend with a cat body, great for stealth. Elephant, dinosaur, and shark/whale bodies

We also saw a whale AI at the end of the "Marten shouldn't actually have been assigned Pintsize as his companion" mini-arc, here.
So it seems that these AIs do exist, but probably in relatively small numbers. And it's not surprising that we wouldn't see the larger types roaming around downtown Northampton too often, but it does raise the question of where the smaller ones are. If there are toaster AIs (which is canon) then there should be pet-shaped AIs, and you'd think there'd be a decent number.
Farideh:
Maybe it was audio only?

Or that...
BenRG:
Why were Marigold and May listening in? I suspect that Aurelia has her system to send out a notification automatically when she wants to go live, even if unscheduled. I'm pretty sure that's doable even IRL and I'm sure she has enough devoted fans that she'll be up into the thousands of viewers within five minutes. Not my idea of something I'd want but still... It probably tells you a little bit of her relationship with her subscribers if she does unplanned streams that might be just her ranting about something or sharing a free-association of some kind that just popped into her head.
Clinton has already guest-starred in the show as 'Li'l Beef'. I wonder what Claire's 'Mini-Milk' avatar looks like and what Marten's might look like? A dour moose jumps to mind for some reason.
