I can see in the comments that most people are in support of the tooter, but I think they come across extremely rude and arrogant.

The fact that a CEO took time out to try and engage and discuss this users fears and concerns should be applauded.

Regarding the overarching issue that AI is being folded into everything. How is anyone surprised? A few years ago, it was machine learning and now it's AI. There's a lot of very clever people doing clever things and shoehorning them into our lives in dumb ways. What does that mean for the average person? That they are forced to accept it or go elsewhere, because the reality is that if all competitors present AI summaries when you do a search, consumers expect that.

Hell, I expect my keyboard to know what I'm trying to say when I vaguely press along a single line and get upset when other keyboards can't do it. And if at any point, I felt empowered enough to write a scathing blog post, I'd have the decency to have a conversation about it. But that's just me.

Be better Lori!

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
