I see your point, and totally agree it applies on art of any kind. But in news reporting? Here I am rather interested in the updates, in the information being brought to me. The packaging is less important - to me at least, so I wouldn't complain in this case. And let me underline again the difference: I don't even care to listen to AI music, but would read news brought by AI (those not hallucinated).
I never needed to clean the reversing camera lens so far, in over a decade. It doesn't matter if it's a rear view or reversing, either would get the same amount of mud right? So probably some makers are just better at choosing a placement for the optics.
I don't think this is what the OP claimed up here. Anyway, you're absolutely right, and also I don't see any message on this page claiming we should take Wikipedia without skepticism.
How about this: techbros got their hands everywhere nowadays, so even an iconic car brand is forced to use their brainfarts? Forced by market pressure, forced by export conditions, you name it, but I cannot fathom why otherwise getting a tech guy design a car. I actually like the design, but I must agree it doesn't look Ferrari at all. Did they fire Manzoni or what?
I know a few proud Labubu wearers and they are all trendy adults 40+. Focus on "trendy": they liked the surprise of it, the signaling of it, and above all the exclusivity. That was 1-2 years ago. Only nowadays it migrated to younger and kids, and said adults are past their phase while their children asked for Labubu presents (the younger would accept knockoffs as well). So in my experience it was totally a fashion fad. Maybe every group/region/society lived it differently?

it sounds like a strange relationship with collectibles and raising their kids to have the same issue. is there any kind of cultural anchoring outside of the "cuteness", like how baseball or even pokemon cards have a larger system and entities that its collectibles represent?
to me Lababu feels more like art or fashion, it can be completely irrelevant what the "thing" in question is, but the perceived value is in the performance. do people think they're joining a club when they start wearing a Labubu?
By the amount of money thrown out the AI window nowadays, a day off, or hiring a few more folks to cover for those days off and more, seems like the much cheaper option. But that's only my naive impression right?
