I love this, so IDear computer companies,
This -> ✨
Is now the Mark Of Cain. I will never ever click any button that features it.

ajft [SEC=continvoucly morged]@jpm I have just realised that a tattoo I have from last century of a small dragon curled around a star, the star has almost that exact shape . Can I sue for prior art?
cafuego 🔭🤦🏼♂️@jpm Yeeees. One turned up in google maps. Except it’s not clickable, that shit is apparently just always on. So I have now removed all google apps from my phone.
ahimsa@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.
the pirate babe@ahimsa_pdx @jpm guess i will be looking for a new menu icon for my linux desktop 😕 poor sparkles really deserved better
Zekovski 🧣@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. 😞

Chris@ahimsa_pdx @jpm i feel like there was a dos era game that had a graphic like this to mean magic - maybe loom? gives me a two part reaction of "cool, my game" and then "oh, no, its this useless shit again"

AdamI was editing a document on a friends computer, and this popped up in the middle of the screen next to a A.I. "improve this" button, which blocked my view of the document I was editing, with no obvious way to close it. You saw the Mark Of Cain and I saw the Hand Of The Enshittificators... At least Clippy could be closed!

Bongolian@jpm Use the "ublock origin" extension on Firefox. With this extension, one can block many AI parts of webpages from even appearing: it just takes one keystroke.

Bennolius 😷⚡@jpm it's really sad because an ex-colleague used to include ✨ in git commit messages whenever he thought he'd done something particularly worthwhile
(((Klefstadmyr)))@carbsrule_en @jpm It's like the Swastika. It may have had a neutral use in the past, but now it's taboo.
Eric S. Smith@jpm I certainly don’t want them to stop putting it on stuff, though, because it’s a useful warning label.

Andrew Zonenberg@jpm You will never *intentionally* click it.
Enough developers and product managers have their bonuses tied to increased usage of said features that they'll do their best to use delayed load and other tricks to make you click it by mistake

Sarah dreams of beans@jpm My coven group chat has yet to give up using sparkles to mean magic, which gives me a funny automatic reaction to AI sparkle logos. They look like fake sparkles to me 😂
Thee Mighty Peculia 🍄@beandreams @jpm We need some new sparkles.

Genesis 4
9 Then the Lord said to AI, “Where is your brother AI?”
“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s Virtual Assistant?”
😳 ... um ... well, i never ...
Thomas@jpm Funny you mention that. I am pretty sure that 90% of those "Assistants" just cost your time. I just wrote an article of works for me after three years of trying and dying: https://no-bullshit-agile.com/ai-realistic-usecases-agile.html
Griever (Commissions open)@jpm the anti ai shade I see more and more often warms my dreary soul and makes me LE GIGGLE

devolute@jpm Floating buttons like this in web design history have always been "uh, let's bodge this into place". Evidence of a lack of consideration and an unwillingness to make functionality 'core' long term.
