Do you really need a fancy tamagotchi to be your friend all the time? Maybe you could name it Jarvis, that would be original.
I'm thinking of the movie "Her" where the ai assistant was only ever a voice. And siri, and grok in a tesla, etc. I think we can do non-visual personas.
I don't know, maybe corporate design folks think in trademarks and logos and this is just part of that?
(or what about deaf people? Do they need text, or something amenable to lip reading?)
The average person does not care to use their Muse to optimize their life for productivity. they use ai assistants to shoot the shit and maybe cancel subscriptions they no longer use. Anthropomorphizing the mascot and making tamagotchis is much better for engagement
