> And products that respond to their owner’s tastes — something already seen in smartphone upgrades, connected cars from BMW or Tesla, or entertainment devices like the Amazon Echo — could change product design.
I don't want my computers to try to predict my intentions. Google tries to do it with things like Google Maps on Android, and it doesn't work. It makes user interfaces inconsistent, removes the ability to do things quickly with muscle memory, and adds to cognitive load as I have to find the buttons that are required to override the one bad option that the "AI" has decided to offer me. Changing interfaces based on user behavior goes in my list of "worst trends of 2015".
