i'm not mr. AI doomer, and i don't actually dislike a lot of the generative features being added, but can we make it less AI! AI! AI! in-your-face all the time?
examples:
- sleep cycle has been analyzing my sleep patterns for over a decade. great app. gladly paid for it. but loaded it up yesterday after a long break and now they're calling it AI. subtext: "are we cool now that it's a buzzword?"
- today i opened notion and a big "notion AI" nav item's been added to my sidebar. on top of the many "please use AI" prompts popping up across their UI. big pick-me energy.
many such cases!
i feel like a curmudgeon, but it makes me like your products less.
