I think we'll see this happen over time in all tools - individual AI brands replaced by generic AI icons.

The real question is this: While the floppy disk became the standard "Save" icon, what will eventually become the standard "AI functionality" icon?

I'm guessing the 'sparkle' icon will stick around, for better or worse
What does pressing this button even DO? Pressing the floppy disk saves. LLMs cannot be reduced to a mere button, and that's a whole problem with Microsoft's strategy. They seem laser-focused, for financial reasons, to reduce all of AI's myriad possibilities to a single button/identity.
The sparkles are also in Gitlab and Jira, so it seems to have become the de-facto "Call the AI" button.
I think it's even more than that, they'll be features without AI even being mentioned
