Protip -- don't use synthetic "art" to illustrate your articles and ESPECIALLY don't do so if you're prompting it to depict a scene from a culture (or like here cultures!) you don't belong to.

This is some epic self-beclowning.

How in the world is this a good picture to go with an article on #ChatGPT @NatureCustom? Science communication should really do better than using the shitty white robot rendering. This is plain misleading and even comes with a ridiculous caption.

The question "Good vs. Evil in modern #AI" and you place a picture of a white blue-eyed robot with it?
I see an issue here that goes way beyond just the fact that the article doesn't even mention robots...

A good example on how to utilizise illustrations that is not deceptive, or as @David_Gunkel says:
"We might need to replace the usual #Robot image utilized to illustrate the amazing wonders of #AI with something like this."

@MarisaTPP We might need to replace the usual #Robot image utilized to illustrate the amazing wonders of #AI with something like this. @NotMyRobots

[Not my Robots! @NotMyRobots]

That's a good question but not a good picture. That seems unnecessarily gendered and borderline creepy, doesn't it? The text doesn't mention robots at all either.

[Not my Robots! @NotMyRobots]

We always love a text by @grok_ but that pic needs a mention here. Why is a sumo ringer in gear arm wrestling a mock humanoid robot, @sciencefocus?!?

#robotrights is not about #Robots; it is about us.
In this short-read from @sciencefocus, @grok_ elaborates her neo-Kantian indirect duties argument concerning #robot abuse by connecting-the-dots to virtue ethics, following the research of @ShannonVallor

Once again a terrible picture is ruining an important article.

"Anthropomorphism is not a bug that can be eliminated; it is a feature of our (human) operating system." says @David_Gunkel. Do you agree?
We are certainly thinking that this kind of anthropomorphized image is a bug.

[David J. Gunkel @David_Gunkel]

Six of the seven items list in this @techreview article are very reasonable. Unfortunately, no. 5 "Don't Anthropomorphize" is naive and unrealistic. Anthropomorphism is not a bug that can be eliminated; it is a feature of our (human) operating system.

@DFKI @DrLutzBoehm @UraniaBerlin Und wenn es SEO sein muss kann man immer noch bei @ImagesofAI nachgucken, die bieten bessere Stock Photos, die nicht die schlimmsten Klischees reproduzieren.

@DFKI @DrLutzBoehm @UraniaBerlin anderes Bild, das zwar auch keine KI zeigt immer noch besser als das hier, weil es nah an existierender Technik ist. Ansonsten kann man immer noch die Panelists zeigen, damit man sieht, dass KI von Menschen gemacht wird und dort auch Menschen mit ihrer Kompetenz diskutieren.

Looks like our bald white-plated humanoid has a dog too...
