Because a dick is too obvious:

Because that's who runs them. A butthole.

And because it perfectly illustrates what value AI brings. Because the only thing that comes from it is shit.

Because they are full of shit

Whatever the visual equivalent of nominative determinism is, I suppose.

Because they constantly spew bullshit?

Full of shit, made by assholes, produces diarrhea.

There should be a product which removes AI from programs. It's logo could be toilet paper, because it wipes away the shit.

Simple.

During sex, the butthole is either visible, in the near vicinity or the active target of stimulation.

Basically the only times you generally actually see a butthole (in general people) is when your genitals are swollen.

So see butthole, remember sexy times unconsciously.

Or not. But it sounds like something that would come out of a marketing department.

It's because it's all just ass tricks

Because the assholes ruining the whole world genuinely think it's funny to do shit like that right in our faces, let's be honest

It's a shit service.

Mind of the beholder?

I'm reminded of a college Art History prof who thought every ancient image or object that was round represented Mother Earth, and anything long was phallic. Nevermind that these were the same people who figured out agriculture, medicine, fermentation, engineering, laws... [all the things the Romans did for us besides Nothing]... but somehow they were only capable of two artistic concepts.

Welcome to the toilet bowl. Enjoy the view

The real answer is because it's a really easy unimaginative design. We basically have to be lucky that they didn't try and change one of their letters into the logo I'll put a giant X at the start and a Z at the end, but maybe that's too 1990s.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Would be proud.

Illustration of their founders.

They're showing you where their product comes from.

Representation of their CEOs

You've heard of nominative determinism, well now we've got iconographic determinism!

It's because they all imagine themselves as the center of everything.

E pluribus anum

To symbolize their desire to assfuck all the workers they can cut from payrolls.

Kirk Johnson was the first AI scientist.

because you're in middle school?

It symbolizes the crossroads of ideas.

I haven't read the article, but I assume the real answer is because it's a visual representation of a bunch of vectors. These models use a ton of vector math to function.

Because what come out of them is shit?

Also stars and diamonds. I guess a star is a kind of butthole.

An asterisk is used to indicate special conditions or limitations, often found in the small print of documents.

Feedback examined the logos of OpenAI, Apple Intelligence, Claude and others, and we can confirm that, yes, they do bear more than a passing resemblance to a sphincter, and once you see it you can’t unsee it.

Do people really

Because capitalists are assholes who steal from both ends of the Working Class: they cram down wages while soaking the consumers for all that they are willing to spend.

And it is this method by which the Parasite Class engineers trickle-up economics to achieve such obscene wealth.

Claude's logo looks like it's about to prolapse

Was this article written by AI?

What's the second album and ant smuggling got to do with anus logos?

This author gets a chub every time they open the dialer on their phone, I guarantee it.
