A friend of mine suggested that we stop using the sparkle emoji as the symbol for AI and replace it with a magic eight ball as it more realistically conveys how the technology works. I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

GenAI is the first time I see a use for the smiling-poo emoji.

@larsmb @sohan This. I recommend the emoji for "AI," as "AI" is a steaming pile of shit.

Or perhaps a double? ()(shitty 8 ball)

who tf was using sparkles for AI
I hate this

@noodlemaz @sohan pretty much every company ever. https://youtu.be/g-pG79LOtMw?si=dpuBx95X0Fd6Rryi

@noodlemaz @natejung @sohan

Replying to someone

@natejung @noodlemaz @sohan

I'm sheltered because I've never seen this before. Yuck.

I think I saw it in someone's VSCode for to ask copilot or whatever.
@natejung @noodlemaz @sohan
