minus-squareAnanace@lemmy.ananace.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up52·27 days agoI’m really happy to see a piece of news about “… your companion for …” and it not being about yet another soulless LLM chatbot.
minus-squareastropenguin5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·27 days agoYeah thats what I initially assumed it was which is pretty sad
minus-squarelolola@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up12·27 days agoIs it not? I’m so jaded that when I see a company trot out anything cute, squishy, or colorful (be it a logo, character, or whatever), I assume it’s another slopbot.
minus-squareastropenguin5@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·27 days agoActually went and read the thing to be sure but yeah it’s just like a branding/mascot thingy, not a bot
minus-squarelolola@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·27 days agoInteresting. What’s the over/under on when they hook it up to a bot tho?
minus-squareXLE@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·26 days agoIt seems unlikely. The mascot has been around for a while, and it’s usually in notifications. To paraphrase a popular tech YouTuber, Kit is just trying to help.
minus-squareloonsun@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·26 days agoThey literally designed it without a mouth to illustrate it isnt supposed to talk so the answer is very low chance
minus-squarehesh@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·27 days agoDefinitely thought that’s what this was until reading your comment
