Lately, I’ve noticed companies smashing ✨ onto every new feature they claim is “AI-powered”.
This annoys me, because the ✨ emoji is my favorite emoji, and I don’t want my use for it to go away.
I set out to find out why this is happening, and wound up on the other side of the planet.
✨Enjoy✨

Corrections after the fact (because I sometimes get a couple things wrong): 1: The 'moji' in Emoji means 'Character', not emotion. So it's e (picture) moji (character). That one got a bit lost in translation. 2: The binary '3' I accidentally listed as '7' (000111) - it should be (000011). 3: The Western Armenian letter Գ is U+0533. I accidentally animated U+0553 Will keep this updated if I find any other errors. Thanks for watching!

Also, "Mojibake" is completely Japanese and so the Japanese "bake" (transformation) is not pronounced like English "bake", neat as that coincidence is.

A major error is that the emoji set shown at the Museum of Modern Art isn't the earliest known emoji set. That was actually Docomo's 2006 emoji set, an updated form of their original black and white set from 1999. SoftBank's first emoji set predated Docomo's by 2 years, releasing in 1997 on the SkyWalker service for the DP-211SW phone. Still a good video, though.

✨ = magic and ethereal Throughout this video everyone brushed off the sparkles' meaning of "magic" as something unimportant, but I think that's actually all there is to it. AI features are smart, automatic and effortless, and feel like magic. That's clearly what these tech companies are communicating. That's the meaning of sparkles in the context of AI. "Why do we connect sparkles to magic?" would've been a more useful question to find the answer to. The fact that you and the other Western interviewees saw it as an obvious connection and didn't bother dwelling on it, proves exactly what you described: different societies might have symbols so ingrained in their culture that they won't even question them.

I wouldn't say it was "total coincidence", since there have been several katakana words based off of the popular word "emotion". It's likely that "emoji" was chosen because of its resemblance to "emotion".

Also, things that are brand new glitter and sparkle. So... Applying lots of flashy sparkling glitter to something OBVIOUSLY SAD AND DISTRESSING, is itself an act of sarcasm. The ✨ doesn't itself mean sarcasm; the contrast between it and what it's attached to is what conveys sarcasm. Similar to "Whee. I'm so happy I could vomit. I'm having such a wonderful time I might just shoot myself." Contrasts. See? "I feel like ✨ G A R B A G E ✨" is saying something negative in a saccharine tone. So... A tone modifier.

As a UX designer whenever I’m implementing AI features you use the ✨ in order to create the impression of magic pretty much or that this is a magical feature because a lot of times you can’t really explain what the feature does until the user tries it so it’s to give the impression that it’s an automated process of some kind that the user could interpret as magic not in the fantastical sense, but in the sense of convenience or newness.

Yes, features that automatically (“magically”) do something cool for you are always associated with magic, magic wand symbol in Photoshop for example. But ✨ are better for AI because it combines magic with new “shiny” tech. And it’s good for UI design because it’s simple and recognisable symbol even if it’s small and doesn’t have a color
@Rayuaz
@Rayuaz Ай бұрын
I'm pretty suree it's derived from the wand emoji (🪄), which also has sparkles, but has too much details to read well as an icon, so we abstracted it to just the sparkles, which is a lot simpler, and makes for a better icon ✨.

An "algorithm" is "AI" if it's run by a computer. We've been using the term for decades. For example, think about video games, ever since we had CPU-controlled enemies in video games, we would refer to the algorithm as "enemy AI". Is the term overused? Sure, but that's marketing for you. At the end of the day though, if a non-biological thing (something artificial) does something mimicking intelligence (whether that's a basic enemy logic in a video game, or today's art/music generators and chatbots) the term is being used correctly.

Great video!!! Couple things I want to add as a Japanese. - Moji-bakè comprises of letter (文字-moji) and transformation (with a connotation of being drastic) (化け-bakè) - emoji (絵文字)is combination of picture (絵) and letter (文字), not emotion I also want to add that imo reason why emoji took off in Japan is because our language has kanji - type of letters that by itself has some meaning unlike English alphabet. The concept of having a meaning in one symbol was already a familiar idea for us, so that “iconisation” took place in Japan as it did.

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.

Really cool video, was defenetly not expecting to see you go to Japan talk to the actual creator of emojis during it, haha. But funny thing, I'm from Brazil and here that 💠 emoji you kept showing towards the end of the video is curently used to represent pix, which is like PayPal or venmo for you US guys (but is instant and implemented in all banking institutions/apps). So we open our bank app and there it is the 💠 emoji. Because of that, when you showed it and was like "what does that even mean?" I was like "Oh yeah, Pix!" Hahahaha

I love how happy he was hearing about how Americans make use of his sparkle emoji, and how a part of his creation was being used creatively in a different culture. He seems like he really cared about his contributions and must have put his heart and soul into it.

This was fascinating. I’ve always wondered why everyone uses sparkles for AI but this was more interesting to just learn the origins of the emoji as a whole. Plus it was shot and edited beautifully!

It's lowkey funny to me that the protagonist is subtly bitter about it, hopefully not for the common contrivances, and everyone else in the video is like "Yeah that's fine that makes sense." Great video, I never knew about the first rivaling emoji dealers 🤭

I think it also has something to do with the photo editing “touch-up” feature which is often represented with a wand (and a little sparkle if it can be added.) the sparkles feel in theme and kind of like the end of the wand results.
