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. (h/t @jeffadoctor who found this atrocity.)

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. Reported by @@Joshuak_Smith
The rendering of a humanoid robot with a white covering and a male-looking face. The robot is standing in from of a green blackboard with mathematical formulas. It is holding a book that is as white as the robot.

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... Reported by @drkatedevlin

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."
A hand moving a computer mouse. The mouse shines slightly yellowish on the front, as does the cable and the finger using it. The arm of the user is covered in an orange sleeve with a number on it.

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.
A rendered white robot is sitting reading on the couch. The robot has breasts and a face that can be read as female. An elderly man stands behind the couch the robot is sitting on and shows it something on a tablet. The old man touches the robot and looks joyfully. Both are presented in a matter as if they are close to each other.

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?!? sciencefocus.com/news/act-ro…
Left is a humanoid robot rendered with white plates, right is a sumo ringer in traditional gear. Both arm wrestle sitting on a round wooden char.

#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 sciencefocus.com/news/act-ro…

"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.

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. technologyreview.com/2023/05…

Hey, @BBCWorld why does your Twitter preview show such a bad picture that @snafu_stgt had to report it to @NotMyRobots while on your page all pictures are perfectly suited? Is that really necessary? AI is not a humaiod robot looking at us face to face!
Screenshot of the tweet by the BBC world, the preview picture shows the head of a woman looking straight at the head of a humanoid robot

And the nonsense robo images to portray AI continues - this today by @CIPR_Global, PR's Charter PR body, reguarly calling for ethical PR which doesn't misinform or disinform adding to the communication issue AI has. @NotMyRobots #AI #PR #AIinPR

AI continues to have a communication issue, which impacts understanding and skews discourse. This is frustrating as @BBCRD has even published a @ImagesofAI image guide to stop the nonsense robo images. #AI #PR #AIinPR
