has a topic related name

"wallwiz" is also pretty closely related to the topic. As OP states it also sounds less juvenile.

unique new logo

using a penguin as a mascot in foss is hardly unique.

uses ai in a useful way

we're on lemmy so there's almost certainly going to be a couple other replies that hammer on this specific point. But for my part: use of AI, to me, communicates a lack of effort. If they had commissioned someone who could be more familiar with the actual project to do the branding, that would tell me it's a project they gave a shit about.

expresses art

I don't consider "ai art" to actually be art. This is a whole debate we could have but I'll leave it at that.

Unless you're talking about the functionality of the program, but that's separate from the branding issue OP is complaining about.

provides stuff to theme your distro

Yeah that's just what the program does. OP has no issues there.

has a unique branding

The branding is ai generated, which is to say: it looks like any other github repo with a filled out README.md

is inclusive

What do you mean by this? Feels like a random adjective to throw out there.
