A mascot for Microsoft copilot - thanks I didn't know about Mico - is totally different.
That's just a Clippy variant.
This AI mascot would represent "all AI" not Microsoft Copilot.
And there needs to be a consistent counter to the "were laying off 10% of our staff to pivot to AI" lies.
Yes, they're laying off staff, but no this has nothing to do with AI.
They lay off staff to appease stock holders.
"We over hired in the pandemic" is a hoot. So we're firing the executives who did the planning for that? Nope. They stay.
AI is a technology whose defamation by CEOs will make its progress slower and more difficult, simply so the CEIs have some cover story for layoffs.
- jdiff 4mo agoI think a single monolithic mascot for all AI has even worse chances than a Clippy ripoff. People will be as cold towards it as ever, and companies won't want to contaminate their image with something that isn't theirs and that they don't have control over.
