> lately it really seems like they are cramming in AI functionality in a way that does not consider the whole experience and it truly feels bolted-on. "They" could be just about any major software vendor as of late, it's hardly specific to Google.

Apple is avoiding it more somewhat, but perhaps more due to being behind on the tech itself

  Are they? I just took iPadOS 26 and it wouldn't shut up about all the new AI stuff

    You have to compare it to another device to see what I mean. Also they talk about features a lot but not a lot of features actually exist

For real, even Lowes is doing this crap. I tried looking up a some products on their website with my phone the other day and every product page is now partially obscured by a useless AI widget that can't be removed. They've made their product categorically worse just to check the AI box.

  Remember when FB really took off, and places like Lowes tried to make their site be a "social hub" too? Like you'd add your friends there and follow their shoppings or whatever
