Great video David, thank you. Checkout Philips logo - since 1938…

Welcome to David Imel's very first viral video, fellas ! 💥✨

Bro why is everything but the dialogue soo loud? (Or rather, why is the dialogue so quiet) love the video though

Interesting research! I'm a bit sad if sparkles will definitely be bound to AI cause i've been using sparkles as a reaction for the last few years to give a positive feeling without using ugly faces or cold thumbs up.. (lol i feel a little bit japanese today) One association you didn't include in your video is the magic wand, as for the automatic selection tool used in graphic programs, whose icon is a stick with a few sparks on the tip. I remember it being an early authomatic tool that changed a lot for users and looked a bit like a shortcut or miracle and "magic wand" was a perfect name. Somehow it feels connected to what the AI wants to be presented as: magic, shortcut, automation.

Incredible. This was very Nick Robinson of you. ✨10/10 compliment btw✨

This was really great, thank you for an awesome video

✨why?✨🤕

We all creating a petition for a new emoji with this one🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

As a Japanese, I have no idea about the 💠emoji. After some research, I found the original docomo/au/SoftBank emoji set list, the original style of 💠 is on No.148. www.docomo.ne.jp/binary/pdf/service/imode_mail/function/emoji_convert/pictogram.pdf It says "かわいい"(cute) for it and I suppose its literal shape is a flower. Who changed it to an artificial diamond!? 🤣

It’s mo-ji-ba-ke, emoji ghost

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*i think it should be mentioned that ASCII art / emoticons are the true origin of sparkle usage and emoji orgin✧˖°. Back in the age of the dial-up Internet, Nokia phone princesses *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧˖°.(´｡• ᵕ •｡`)✧˖°.

That was an awesome doc!

Great video! ✨

21:12 bro just hinted on finally revealing what the meaning of 💠 is but then moved on 😭 edit: he did!!!! 23:52

11:12 this just derailed from a guy telling a story in his room to a full documentary ✨

Hypothesis: they're lazy and/or uncreative. It's not that hard to come up with a new design, much less so when you have the resources they do.

As a millennial that uses lol to often. I’m going to start using ✨ instead.

Bro came out of a two-year hibernation due to a f*king sparkle emoji and vsaucing for 28 minutes. Huge respect.

Interesting watch! 👍 Video premise and thumbnail intrigued me, thought I might learn something, great research here, thanks ✨David✨!! 🙌

ok i think it’s disrespectful not to subscribe to someone who paid a flight ticket for an other country and took their whole afternoon to get to japan 🇯🇵 after they were in a museum in new york for the first half of their day 🎊 🎉

I live in New York so I think you guessed where this is going 11:04 wait what 😮😮😮💫⭐️🌟⚡️

I remember emojis on ICQ in the 90s

Most ai is just repackaged “smart”

perfect timing, i was just wondering how that emoji relates to AI now.

As the relationship with our phones is already so personal and intrusive I think many people like their device to be as cold and functional as possible, although Google’s work is amazing from a design perspective

Its a good thing that smartphones used to have a focus on being smaller and thinner. Nowadays they’re way too big to the point of being unconventional as a *phone*, for me its impossible to use a modern phone in one hand without risking dropping it. I couldn’t care how much better smartphone cameras could be if it comes at the expense of everything else. If cameras ever get better on phones, I would rather it be used to have decent cameras on smaller phones, than better cameras on the same size or even bigger phones.

During that vid i was remapping a key and logitech now has AI prompts in its drivers and guess how its shown ✨

🧢

This is such a fun interview

quality content ⚜️🌀

Here from wvfrm

bro i was saying the same thing to my friends about how just AI devs/stuff use this emoji

Quasar (Electronics) as an accent in the logo, Subaru logo as Pleiades star cluster M45 star group. It's a visual artifact of a square optical lens aperture looking at a circular point of light.

wait why is the 🧢 not a cap

David, did you remove your suit as if you just came from Japan right from the next door :))

Wow this video aged like fine wine pixel 8 is now the first phone to launch with ai features and more smartphone companies are following in its footsteps

Material you is an ugly skin. Galaxy Android is the best

Would be interesting to try this by using a carbon fiber strand instead of tpu

Can we take a minute to appreciate how well researched this video is, mostly containing primary sources and highlighting different perspectives of the matter? It's done better than many of the mainstream newspapers nowdays

You've covered a lot of good angles. One that I'm aware of that I didn't see you touch on is programming related (and therefore perhaps relevant to AI): several years back (at least as early as 2019, probably earlier) what is now referred to as Gitmoji started being used. It's not super prevalent, but definitely recognised in the industry and basically what it is is using emoji as part of your commit message (the message describing what you've done) to indicate the type of change you made. Examples include 🐞 for fixing a bug and... ✨ for adding a new feature.

i'm curious why you'd interview the person who made the emoji rather than the people who use the emoji the way you're wondering about...

21:11 i'm assuming that's the apple version of that diamond ring emote bc that's the most high res, detailed rendition of it i've ever seen

✨

right :c I'm disappointed they took away such an amazing and exciting emoji from us just to use it for something as creativity-killing and boring as AI

the twinkle emoji will always be used for ironic effect. i don’t keep up with these random companies but snapchat uses the ⚙️ icon for AI which is fitting

I always thought it was because AI is very new and "the way of the future" and often new things are associated with being shiny and clean and sort of wow look at me. Like all the time, the future is represented as being very clean very white and shiny metal. also I could just be magic. Like turning words into pictures is a very magical concept. A machine that can talk and think is inherently magical.

I see ✨often used to just mean "new" like to highlight a new feature. AI features are still very new so it makes sense that they would often get put along side them and then some companies just started using that as an icon to mean AI in general.
