    1. The ‘they hate us’ is just the new ‘user engagement metric’. Tomorrow’s update: AI that feels personally attacked by your 1 star reviews.

      Every company sees every other company incorporating AI and says “We’d better do that too if we wanna remain relevant. We don’t wanna be left behind.”

      It’s that rhetorical question your mom used to ask you. “If your friends all jumped off a bridge, would you?” Except, these companies are actually jumping off the bridge one after the other.

      ‘AI’ is such a meaningless buzzword, it’s like companies putting e- before a random word in their marketing a few years ago

      For the most part it means ‘digitally automated’ and most things don’t need that, even if the AI actually functioned, which it rarely does

    4. The rich tech-bros trying to make GenAI relevant SO hard by cramming it literally everywhere because they know it’s gonna come crashing down sooner or later.

    5. Even before AI companies were constantly ruining good products with new ‘features’ that got in the way and nobody asked for. It’s just that at this point in time all those new features have something in common.

      Companies need to get out of the mindset that bombarding people with new shit that makes no sense is the key to success. If you’ve got a successful product you should be much more careful with how you develop it.

    6. Can’t wait to see a company run entirely by AI one day

      *cough cough* YouTube *cough cough*

      No one, but shareholders. They REALLY like any popular bullshit, even if adding it to a product has less than 0 sense

      ‘Why do they hate us?’
      Because every AI update feels like a side quest no one accepted.

      Users when a company says ‘new AI features’: bro please don’t touch anything, it was finally working…

      And they also remove a useful ctrl key to add “copilot key”, which is just trash. Laptop manufactors are just insane.
