Find the Apple MeMoji things fascinating, they're so utterly charmless and ugly. Really sums up to me how Apple doesn't "human very well", they just don't know how to make something appealing and cute (Like LINE Inc.) or even just weirdly funny that it grows on you like Bitmoji.

They just come across as weird and gross to me, the art style and how they're used feels like an AI failing the Turing test.




I don’t feel quite as strongly, but I do agree they have a whiff of “Gen X attempts to appeal to Zoomers” about them


They're also a very good indicator of which Twitter accounts to stay away from. Those soulless eyes don't lie.


Ah they aren't so bad. Kind of look Pixar-y to me. And they're not horrifying like Samsung's equivalent thing[1].
