Because a dick is too obvious:

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

(I think that was the joke)


Shouldn’t it be “anum”?





Because they are full of shit

Username checks out.


Is that the third game in the Perfect Dark trilogy?




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.

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.

In capitalist US, butthole fucks you!

Yakov? Damn you still owe me for all those nights in Branson, Missouri!!!





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


Because they constantly spew bullshit?

The amount of upvotes confirms this was more than likely everyone’s first thought



Full of shit, made by assholes, produces diarrhea.


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

Seems like the community most likely to build tools like that would pot for something more plug shaped.



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.

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

You just moved up the probing list

Hot.

Don’t get excited. We no longer use the crude anal route for probing purposes as it was far too scarring, for us.

We simply enter, what we believe to be painlessly, through your pupils, while you lay peacefully paralyzed and fully conscious for the invigorating science being done.

Well let me know if your grandparents start feeling nostalgic.






This is absolutely correct, sex sells!

Walmart is also a butthole, Target is a nipple, Amazon is a penis, etc etc etc



It’s because it’s all just ass tricks


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




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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

I did mean syncretism, I was just tired and mangled the word in my attempt to get autocorrect to stop trying to force it into saying synthetic so I just mangled it into how I say it phonetically.







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

I see a lot of “hmmm…” images where the poster seems to think part of the image reminding them of a dick or whatever is a universal human brain function. Generally I chalk those up to middle schoolers who probably also wonder if putting mirrors on shoes to see girls’ panties really works.




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.

Welcome to the toilet bowl. Enjoy the view


All those folks worrying about population decline should be thrilled


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

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

Can’t, I’m in the bathroom producing an ai response.



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?

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.





Illustration of their founders.


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


Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Would be proud.


They’re showing you where their product comes from.


Representation of their CEOs


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

The Walmart logo is one of those. I think you may be onto something here!



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

Grok’s logo is a black hole.

Uranus.. ha ha






Kirk Johnson was the first AI scientist.


because you’re in middle school?


What a new and novel observation. /s

It’s because intelligence is ineffable and like a point of light or essence.

People who go on about this meme are insufferable to me.


What a new and novel observation

The headline is just a rehash of a commonly made joke on social media.

I was making fun of you




Y’all took that way too personally or something.


Intelligence is ineffable! It’s something that only humans possess! It’s what makes us different from the other animals!

Also, we’ve recreated it in computer form. Now give us lots of money.

So you think the icons should all be brains, light bulbs, graduation caps, Einstein, and so on?

Grow up.

No, it should be a flaming trash bin.





Comments from other communities

It symbolizes the crossroads of ideas.


I haven’t read the article, but I assume the real answer is because it’s a visual representation of a bunch of vectors. These models use a ton of vector math to function.

What’s your vector, Victor?


I’d have thought it’s a stylised asterisk, since it’s meant to be a do-anything machine.



Because what come out of them is shit?


Also stars and diamonds. I guess a star is a kind of butthole.

Especially Jared Leto. MAJOR butthole.

So did you. And I. The big question is what made us change while they didn’t?

No, I mean we humans are deuterostomes - meaning at one point in our embryonic phase we were nothing but literal assholes. Then we developed from there (hopefully)





An asterisk is used to indicate special conditions or limitations, often found in the small print of documents.


Feedback examined the logos of OpenAI, Apple Intelligence, Claude and others, and we can confirm that, yes, they do bear more than a passing resemblance to a sphincter, and once you see it you can’t unsee it.

Do people really



Claude’s logo looks like it’s about to prolapse


Because capitalists are assholes who steal from both ends of the Working Class: they cram down wages while soaking the consumers for all that they are willing to spend.

And it is this method by which the Parasite Class engineers trickle-up economics to achieve such obscene wealth.


This author gets a chub every time they open the dialer on their phone, I guarantee it.


Was this article written by AI?

What’s the second album and ant smuggling got to do with anus logos?
