I think AI is cool, but I hate seeing it forced on everyone. I also hate programs trying to run on startup without me explicitly saying so (cough Discord Teams Spotify Steam Teams MuseHub Teams Slack cough)

I really feel the naming teams 3 times

Teams is so garbage that it's actually like 5 programs all called Teams trying to launch on startup. I have no idea which one is the real Teams.

Snapchat forces their AI assistant into the top of your friend/send list.

You have to pay to remove it.

I never use it, its always there though. I named it an obscenity to hopefully get their attention

It turns out most people want to socialize with their friends, not some corporate AI constantly trying to sell you stuff. It's way closer to a stuffy car salesman than a friend.

It actually tries to upsell you???
