i feel like when they style them all cute like that (see muse) it means they're problematic and invasive.

I think they're just meant to be friendly. I don't think it's that deep. They're useful and not scary and its marketing is meant to project that image.

I was surprised by how much I liked the Muse avatar and its customization options. It’s very good at coming up with something decent looking based on your prompts, and animating it.

The services without the custom avatar now feel like they’re missing something.

As a kid I used to love the video game “Megaman Battle Network”, which depicts a world where everyone walks around with an PDA device carrying a fully customized AI buddy that navigates the internet for them. It was the first time I felt like we were getting close to that.

But even with the nostalgia, I don’t think I can ever connect up a Meta owned agent service to all of my accounts and information.

you don't have to give yourself up to irrational, anxious feelings.

Does no one remember the MS Paperclip?!?

Muse makes sense since it targets the general normies. Dots explicitly are targeting developers instead which makes it a bit weird.

i can't believe they straight up ripped the design from Muse

I mean the fact that it's not available in the EU is a pretty big tell
