I think it's somewhat interesting that codex (gpt-5.3-codex xhigh), given the exact same prompt, came up with a very similar result.

Asked gemini the same question and it produced a similar-ish image: https://manuelmoreale.dev/hn/gemini_1.svg

When I removed the plot part and simply asked to generate an SVG it basically created a fancy version of the Gemini logo: https://manuelmoreale.dev/hn/gemini_2.svg

This is honestly all quite uninteresting to me. The most interesting part is that the various tools all create a similar illustration though.

Is it? They're all generalizing from a pretty similar pool of text, and especially for the idea of a "helpful, harmless, knowledgeable virtual assistant", I think you'd end up in the same latent design space. Encompassing, friendly, radiant.

Note that Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other LLM companies (assumably human) designers chose a similar style for their app icon: a vaguely starburst or asterisk shaped pop of lines.

AFAIK all of these models have been trained in very similar ways, on very similar corpuses. They could be heavily influenced by the same literature.

I wonder if anyone recognizes it really closely. The Pale Fire quote below is similar but not really the same.

Spirals again.

Those AIs have read too much Junji Ito.

I love that these would be perfectly at home as sigils in some horror genre franchise.

It’s a bit closer to the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Are you crazy or am I because I scrolled through that blog and am left scratching my head at you and your claim.
