I'm starting to think that I'd prefer that to Copilot branding. It started as a joke, but the more I think about it the more I think the LLMs should be represented as cartoonish idiots with a face you want to punch, and that we are going exactly backwards in the branding from Clippy to Cortana to Copilot. As the text gets too easy to anthropomorphize as "human-like" I think we need the visual reminder that it is still a grandiloquent idiot. We should have been making the visual brands of these things more cartoonish and less serious, rather than the other way around.
Now is the time for a Bonzi Buddy to reign.
Of course, I'm a bit of an Microsoft Agent apologist having programmed quite a few weird things with it in High School that obviously didn't survive bit-rot. I really want to see the fun (and maybe unhinged) things that an LLM would do if it was trained to produce scripts for the Agent cartoon characters.
