>These AI images also add to the public mistrust of AI, a growing problem for innovation in a field that is sometimes seen as biased, opaque and extractive.

Oh my, how would anyone ever have gotten that impression?!

Yeah, but this sounds like hard backpedaling on the ridiculous sales pitches.

"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics"

We've already aroused far too many idiots who decided to hang their hat on a flimsy epistemology. They will never be convinced.

I recommend the Japanese mascot approach.

A round smiling AI mascot.

And a narrative that makes AI seem friendly and helpful.

These CEOs who keep lying about AI taking jobs need to be silenced with facts about AI impact on jobs (mostly neglible, oddly related to the ROI problem. If AI = job replacement that might be a kind of ROI, right ?)

And the hysterics around "needing to stop AI" because "its moving too fast" wut? Totally fake.

AI can't provide valid formatted XML in some cases, gets caught in useless loops in others, etc.

A few have been attempted. Mostly by Microsoft and subsidiaries, from GitHub to Mojang. None have caught on. Closest is GitHub's logo which is getting increasingly animated. But dedicated mascots a la Microsoft's Mico have gone absolutely nowhere.

My personal mental image for AI agents is Mr Meeseeks.

Per Wikipedia:

> Meeseeks are a powder-blue-skinned species of humanoids (each of whom is named "Mr. Meeseeks") who are created to serve a single purpose which they will go to any length to fulfill. Each brought to life by a "Meeseeks Box", they typically live for no more than a few hours in a constant state of pain, vanishing upon completing their assigned task so as to end their own existence and thereby end their suffering; as such, the longer an individual Meeseeks remains alive, the more insane and unhinged they become.
