Meta's Muse AI mascot adopts cute designs based on user data

Victoria Song, a Verge senior reviewer, expressed disappointment in the functional output of Meta’s Muse AI agent, which she named Blorbo, after it generated a mediocre workout routine for a sub-30 minute 5K and muscle regain goals. Despite the underwhelming practical advice, Song noted that the AI’s visual representation had morphed into a cat-shaped piece of bread with a Kirby-like face based on information it learned from her emails.

Song described the resulting mascot as "stinking cute," contrasting its appealing appearance with the lackluster quality of the generated health goals. The article, titled "It’s sinister that Meta’s Muse AI mascot is so cute," highlights this disparity between the AI's engaging aesthetic and its limited utility in this specific instance.
