I actually wouldn't mind AI in everything, if there was a simple one switch so I could easily turn it off if I don't want to use it. The problem is only in forcing it into peoples faces.

I guess they poured to much money into AI for it to fail, and now they must force people to use it to in order to justify the investments.

If it was a good product, people would ask for more themselves.

I just wish I could have my own personal AI that I could plug into everything, so I don’t need to subscribe to a bunch of separate things that are otherwise stupid for subscribing to. Something I have complete agency over and can run offline.

I hope to someday have a Coupon AI. It creates throwaway accounts and tracks the pricing of stuff that I actually like. In my case, 2-liter diet soda. Those things can cost $1-4 dollars depending on circumstances. Buying 36 bottles for more than $2 would be a ripoff.

A KFC feast used to be cheaper back when I got coupons. Now I have to sign up if I want to afford delicious birds and biscuits. I want to be free from being harvested and spammed. I just want to spend my money in a way that doesn't ruin me. 😥
