@jpm Poor little sparkles emoji, which never hurt anyone, is now doomed to be associated with AI slop forever …

But I do agree with your main point - I'm never going to use any so-called "AI" assistant/chatbot/LLM.

@ahimsa_pdx @jpm guess i will be looking for a new menu icon for my linux desktop 😕 poor sparkles really deserved better
@stine @ahimsa_pdx @jpm
I bought a pretty little sparkles pin which I wore for like a month. And now I can't anymore.
Someone even asked me if it was AI related. 😞
