Claude is the only one that looks like an asshole. The rest are just circular, or not even that. Does every circle in the world look like an asshole? Car wheels? Pizzas? Camera Lenses? Ferris wheels? This is like a Rorschach test.
I think this is peak millennialism because the design is supposed to be as inoffensive as possible and therefore shows absolutely nothing.
1. They have to be square. That immediately eliminates basically all logos that are just the companies name and forces everyone to adopt some sort of symbol.
2. They have to have solid backgrounds and rounded corners.
3. They are supposed to match Apple's theme, whatever it is this year. In practice this means simple solid geometries and not anything too fancy or detailed.
4. They have to be recognizable at a wide range of sizes, including very small.
5. If you want your logo to appear in a notification bar then the rules get even harsher. A tiny square, no detail, and it has to make sense in black and white. Note that the ChatGPT app puts such an icon into the macOS menu bar, so a logo that didn't work in black and white and at tiny sizes would be a problem for them.
When you combine these constraints what you're left with is variants shapes that fill the area inside a square, but which are not themselves square as iOS icons are actually "squircles", which can work in colour or black and white, and which can be recognizable at small sizes. So that's what you get.
The only way out of this boring-ass Sahara Desert of visuals would be for Apple and Google to redesign their operating systems in such a way that icons no longer mattered as much, or could be non-square shaped.
GPT is kinda Celtic
None of the Chinese labs have this buttholeness
The lines don’t actually work. Like they asked their bot to make a solomons knot style logo and it flubbed it.
But apparently it was good enough for purpose.
One man's trash...
However, that all happens at the embryonic stage (around day 9). At the point where the embryo has advanced sufficiently to be called a fetus (around week 9), the body has already sufficiently developed so that it's impossible to say where "fetal development" starts: https://embryology.med.unsw.edu.au/embryology/index.php?titl...
Typo; should be day 17/18.

Yes because the spokes are the lines that go to the center

100% - they even "wink"

Well every asshole is circular and every person has an asshole so we are biased toward seeing them everywhere. Any prominently placed circle will always trigger an evolutionary reaction. Do I:
A) Sniff it
B) Hump it
C) Bite it
D) Vibe code slop with it?
Why do you think so many squares work in tech? It's because they don't hire assholes (circles)
The logos do look too canonically similar in general, though. :(
