AI Might End Humanity, But Look How Cute It Is

AI might take your job, harvest your data and possibly end civilisation as we know it. But have you seen how CUTE it is?

Big Tech has apparently decided that the best way to sell us artificial intelligence is to give it googly eyes, a fluffy body and a little French beret.

This week on Short Fuse, we look at the sudden invasion of adorable AI mascots from Meta, OpenAI and friends. Are they making AI more approachable, or are we being emotionally manipulated by glorified Tamagotchis with access to our bank accounts?

We discuss cuddly existential threats, the return of Clippy and why Ollie thinks one of OpenAI's mascots looks like a molar.

The end of humanity has never looked so huggable.
