It has been established somewhere (help me, Bookbeard!) that AIs don't experience time like that. I would suspect that Bubbles just scanned the section headings of the Wikipedia article, except that I don't believe Bubbles has ever lied (except about Faye's body odor).

@Call me Ishmael & @enchantedsleeper. Blargh, one of us wrote a decent response to this question on a different comic and now we can’t find it 😓. Simply put, as a multiple system, we can relate to Yay (minus the extra bodies, lol). We can have a group reaction (Hercules!) or individual responses (shut oneself in a ‘room’). It’s complicated, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

There certainly is more than one historical romance protagonist named Rodrigo, from El Cid Campeador himself (Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar) on down. But none of them can compare to Rodrigo Ernesto Ortega Serrano. And I should know, I have had crushes on more than one fictional Serrano. (Oh, Heris! *swoon*)

I expect that this was a mistake/resolve on Jeph's part to have Yay use the same bubbles as the other AIs. If they had switched back and forth with clear delineation as to contexts (e.g. talking to humans vs talking to AIs), I would buy that it's Yay doing it and not The Creator.

Mark Eichin
2025-03-26 07:07:45 +0000 UTC
@Call me Ishmael. I sort of agree - I don't necessarily subscribe to the idea that one of Yay's selves would break away or be independent from the other Yays, or that they would develop a different set of goals. However, I think that they are located in different places geographically and so it makes sense for one Yay (maybe two) to be the one based in Northampton, unless Yay's selves are regularly travelling from wherever their central apartment is to swap out.
They *are* one person, but they can have varying reactions to things - see for example when Yay met Aurelia, they described one of their selves as having shut itself in the bedroom to play loud music. Just one had that reaction. I would view the selves as more like different sides to Yay, who might have emphasis on different things, but with the same base interests and motivations.
Just a thought, anyway.
enchantedsleeper
2025-03-26 07:02:20 +0000 UTC

Ms Beam had her first son, Jimbo, young. He had a troubled life and became a barfly, but eventually found his calling as an author of speculative fiction.
Her second son, after her marriage to Mr Bean, never knew of the half-brother who shared his name. He went into the baking business, selling coffee and pastries to the swell set.

IIRC, Yay can choose between rectangular and round (unless it was a graphical mistake).

@Bill but Yay also has square speech bubbles?
So does Moray, for that matter (I referenced the "Danger Very Close" strip to check) and I'm not sure how likely it is that she has a voicebox floating in there.

Holy crap. When was the last time we got a Jimbo shout out?

I feel like reading versus downloading would be a matter of personal preference. You know, like buying pornography in print. Somehow it feels more real (& more delightfully dirty), when it doesn’t just disappear, when you close the browser window & it needs a clandestine storage location, when someone respectable comes to visit.

Actually, they're brothers - their parents weren't very imaginative with names.
enchantedsleeper
2025-03-26 01:26:32 +0000 UTC
Yeah, I'd believe that. We've seen AI faces that range from a simple image on a screen (like Winslow's old body) to a mouth part that is used for speaking but is clearly not human standard (like Pintsize's old body) to human standard (like Bubbles' appears to be).

I believe Yay is the only AI with lifelike speech capabilities.
Bill Silvia
2025-03-26 01:25:11 +0000 UTC
I also assumed that. Though we know that May had issues speaking when her voicebox corroded - but you could posit that only cheaper bodies work that way. Maybe more elaborate bodies have lifelike speech capabilities.

I half-seriously believe that Jimbo cleaned himself up a bit and got a conventional job. He runs a bakery now, and just goes by 'Jim'.

We've seen Momo enjoying books, so it looks like they read the same as us. Maybe marginally faster, but most of the human-style ones aren't build to think any faster than us. They can text and surf in their heads, but I'm guessing they consume that stuff the same way

He has referenced using the wiki to remind himself of stuff xD

D'you know, all along, I've been assuming that AIs with human-style mouths have been speaking in a human-style way using their artificial lips and tongues!
Diptych
2025-03-26 01:19:27 +0000 UTC
I forgot about Jimbo. Kinda makes me wonder how does Jeph keep up with all the characters throughout the years. Like, does he have a spreadsheet? Or, is he active in the wiki? I imagine he has character sheets in a folder somewhere. I’d love to see that

She does but it's not required for speaking, she can roll her r's inside her voice box. She saves her tongue for sexy times with Faye.

Call it an unpopular opinion, if you must, but it just doesn’t get any better than Outlander’s James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser (pardon me whilst I swoon & sigh lustily). I’m just having such a hard time believing that any self-respecting historical romance fan girl could assert otherwise.
Melissa Wilson
2025-03-26 01:14:13 +0000 UTC
At least, I assume the rectangular box means any tongue that exists is purely for recreational purposes.

When AIs consume text, do they read it or download it? I mean AIs other than Yay Newfriend. Obviously they download straight into their brain.

There's a way to do it and do it well!

N is the very next entry!
H can wait until the end
That's how we spell our brand new friend! 🎵

Faye, you could have been bonding with your girlfriend over Rodrigo Ernesto Ortega Serrano rather than reading Sex Guy. Opportunity missed.
