How tech companies are pushing us to use AI ?

On the occasion of the publication of our scientific paper, we share with you an English translation of our study that analyzes the stratagems exploited in interfaces to encourage or force us to use AI, whether you want it or not.

Never a feature would have been more pushed in such a short time, spatially, graphically and interactively all at once, and in such a persistent way. A highlight that is probably unprecedented in the history of interfaces, symbolizing a technology with massive investments that must now be made profitable.

@limitesnumeriques I'm loving how you pointed out the colour similarity between AI buttons and Madam Mim from "the sword in the stone"! Can't get her out of my head now.

@wgt Culturally interesting. I never experienced Madam Mim in my childhood. Purple was always the colour of feminism for me. Demonstrating feminists were dressed in purple, had purple flags (1960s-80s).
But AI has a strong bias against women.
