Listen up you kids, this old fart saw this same crap in the 70s when LCDs became common and LCD clocks became the norm. They felt that EVERYTHING needed to have an LCD clock stuck in it, lamps, radios, blocks of cheese, etc. A similar thing happened in the internet boom/bust in the late 90s where everyone needed a website, even gas stations. Now AI is the media and business darling so they are trying to stick AI in everything, partly to justify pissing away so much money on it. I can't even do a simple search on FB because it wants to force me to use the damn meta AI instead.

I occasionally use chat gpt to find info on error code handling and coding snippets but I feel like I'm in some sort of "can you phrase it exactly right?" contest. Anything with even the slightest vagueness to it returns useless garbage.

I'm 28, but I remember hating autocomplete suggestions in UIs and I still do. And they are still here.

FB is the worst for this when they stick a link to another person in your comment. Stop trying to force me to link people all the time.

I have at least two LCD clocks in my house that I will never bother to set, it's an utterly useless feature I will never use.

Hopefully, if people actively avoid products with AI, it will mean this feature doesn't become the default.

I stopped reading when you admitted to using Facebook.
