I’m open to the sentiment because recently I saw an AI preview section in a new product that I didn’t need however that’s the extent to which I’ve seen something nonfunctional that I did not want “forced down my throat”

Even then I can just very easily ignore it

So I’m curious what specific examples you’re thinking about with respect to “forced down your throat”



1) ai summaries at the top of search results - very often inaccurate

2) ai bots are the only available support for some large companies, and seem mostly unable to actually provide support

3) Spotify has been getting flooded with ai generated music, most of which is complete garbage

4) the literal president of the usa regularly publishes ai slop of himself abusing his citizens

None of the above is helpful. None of the above was asked for. None of the above was created for free.
