Hey, BBC News (World) why does your Twitter preview show such a bad picture that Halbgarheiten (at)halbgarheiten(at)sciences.social had to report it to Not my Robots! 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!

Muss das Bild wirklich sein DFKI? Das Bild ist nicht mal auf der verlinkten Webseite der Urania. Ist das wirklich wie das Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz so eine Veranstaltung kommunizieren will? Reported by Dr. Lutz Böhm

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

They're not only taking your jobs, they'll also take your chairs! Not my robot submitted by @Joshuak_Smith Once again a terrible picture is ruining an important article.

We always love a text by Kate Darling but that pic needs a mention here. Why is a sumo ringer in gear arm wrestling a mock humanoid robot, BBC Science Focus Magazine?!? sciencefocus.com/news/act-robot…

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.

@MarisaTPP We might need to replace the usual #Robot image utilized to illustrate the amazing wonders of #AI with something like this. Not my Robots!

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

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 Kate Devlin

How in the world is this a good picture to go with an article on #ChatGPT Nature Custom Media? 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

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 Jeff Doctor who found this atrocity.)
