Feels like we're now firmly in the "desperation" phase for companies who have sunk a ton of cash into AI which nobody asked for. They're frantically trying to justify that spend in via evidence of "user engagement" in any way they can.

I'm sure we're all seeing increasing pushiness and use of dark patterns to force use of AI e.g. WhatsApp searchbar now being "Ask Meta AI or Search"

@tdp_org My work inbox in the past couple of weeks confirms this too. Seeing a tsunami of cold calls from bullshit AI firms with "products" like "virtual interns"

@redsakana Yep, same. Its worse than the end of financial year "you might as well spend your remaining budget on $ctap"
