It could be used in PowerPoint presentations, on websites, on flyers, etc. An intelligence explosion graphic would need to successfully communicate the idea of recursive self-improvement. The goal would be to communicate the idea, and to make it seem slightly plausible to whoever sees it.

A friendly ai graphic would need to show a non-android-looking machine superintelligence crafting a world that humans want, and make this look desirable and cool.
