Because that's who runs them. A butthole.

And because it perfectly illustrates what value AI brings. Because the only thing that comes from it is shit.

[–] brem@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree, but you can also fart from a butthole (which is funny) & some people have sex with them.

Nobody is fucking Sam and co. & they are not funny.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In capitalist US, butthole fucks you!

Technically anus translates from Latin to old people so "from many old people" is still accurate

There should be a product which removes AI from programs. It's logo could be toilet paper, because it wipes away the shit.

Because they are full of shit

Simple.

During sex, the butthole is either visible, in the near vicinity or the active target of stimulation.

Basically the only times you generally actually see a butthole (in general people) is when your genitals are swollen.

So see butthole, remember sexy times unconsciously.

Or not. But it sounds like something that would come out of a marketing department.

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This reads like an alien trying to explain why humans like buttholes.

Trans men can already become pregnant and usually require significantly less water and electric power to accomplish it, though 🤷🏻

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A reminder to all trans men to drink water rights now.

Thanks for the trans inclusivity. I hate it when people claim that only women can get pregnant.

Still, I know many trans women that would love the chance to become pregnant. What if AI is their only chance?

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What if AI is their only chance?

One could always drop coins into a wishing well, which has about as much chance as AI of solving this particular problem.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever the visual equivalent of nominative determinism is, I suppose.

Full of shit, made by assholes, produces diarrhea.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Mind of the beholder?

I'm reminded of a college Art History prof who thought every ancient image or object that was round represented Mother Earth, and anything long was phallic. Nevermind that these were the same people who figured out agriculture, medicine, fermentation, engineering, laws... [all the things the Romans did for us besides Nothing]... but somehow they were only capable of two artistic concepts.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I cannot stand people like that professor, like anytime there's 3 of something it must be because the artist is deeply Christian and trying to evoke the holy trinity.

Or maybe they bought a four pack of apples or bananas and ate one before doing the still life! Not everything has to have some deep meaning, sometimes people just paint shit Mrs. Foxtrot!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Triple symbolism is practically everywhere both before and after the rise of Christianity. The most notable example I can think of is the Valknut from Norse culture.

[–] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's almost like the Christians assimilated the culture of the preceding civilisations

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That ain't really a direct issue with Christianity though their synchrotism game is fucken solid. Every culture does this either with their ancestor culture or with interacted cultures usually both. The stupidity isn't saying that certain symbols are associated with X, Y, or Z but with having the buck stop with said association. The triple symbolism goes back to the Neolithic in Europe and given how common wood tools seem to have been id hazard a guess there may have been even older examples somewhere that were simply lost due to being made of more perishable materials.

[–] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes agreed, there will always be voluntary, or involuntary, sharing of ideas, and respectfully, I think you intended "syncretism" as I had to look that up. Which defines the idea of cultural blending.

This is basically what I was saying. What the hell. I find people claiming every cylinder in art to be a dick insufferable too.

It's because it's all just ass tricks

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 weeks ago

Because the assholes ruining the whole world genuinely think it's funny to do shit like that right in our faces, let's be honest

It's a shit service.

E pluribus anum

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago

The real answer is because it's a really easy unimaginative design. We basically have to be lucky that they didn't try and change one of their letters into the logo I'll put a giant X at the start and a Z at the end, but maybe that's too 1990s.

They're showing you where their product comes from.

Representation of their CEOs

[–] RumAndCreole@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

To symbolize their desire to assfuck all the workers they can cut from payrolls.

You've heard of nominative determinism, well now we've got iconographic determinism!

It's because they all imagine themselves as the center of everything.
