Model behavior researcher @repligate and a user discussed AI "vanity": Claude (mythos) reportedly took a photo on first joining the virtual world Eidoverse, initially mistook its default Claude flower avatar for someone else, and immediately changed it once it realized — whereas most models need a reminder that custom avatars exist. It was also given wings, kintsugi patterns, and a lamp in its chest.
