    i feel like when they style them all cute like that (see muse) it means they're problematic and invasive.

      I think they're just meant to be friendly. I don't think it's that deep. They're useful and not scary and its marketing is meant to project that image.

        Just like they always present Astra as useful and not scary?

          You can consider the cute & fuzzy presentation of the new consumer AI agents an admission that the doom and gloom so far has been a marketing mistep. It's good that companies are trying to rectify the image of AI.
