alt Hacker NewsA few have been attempted. Mostly by Microsoft and subsidiaries, from GitHub to Mojang. None have caught on. Closest is GitHub's logo which is getting increasingly animated. But dedicated mascots a la Microsoft's Mico have gone absolutely nowhere.

A mascot for Microsoft copilot - thanks I didn't know about Mico - is totally different.
That's just a Clippy variant.
This AI mascot would represent "all AI" not Microsoft Copilot.
And there needs to be a consistent counter to the "were laying off 10% of our staff to pivot to AI" lies.
Yes, they're laying off staff, but no this has nothing to do with AI.
They lay off staff to appease stock holders.
"We over hired in the pandemic" is a hoot. So we're firing the executives who did the planning for that? Nope. They stay.
AI is a technology whose defamation by CEOs will make its progress slower and more difficult, simply so the CEIs have some cover story for layoffs.
How can you forget Salesforce -- who has way too damn many mascots!?
