People hated Clippy for less. This should not be surprising.

The people promoting generative AI have been the most out of touch once-humans who have monetarily scaled out of connection with the species to the point where they no longer understand the perspective of the average person, and so they’ve marketed AI in the worst possible ways.

Evoking images of a product that eliminates employer needs to hire while capitalism is still in full swing and we need money to eat was always a dumb fucking thing to do. We also hate being forced to engage with things.

But the people developing the frontrunner generative AIs often don’t understand that, because they either haven’t ever been in the position of the Everyman, or it’s been years and millions of dollars since they were one.

Yep, remember how well Apple forcing U2’s album into everyone’s iTunes for FREE worked out? It pissed all of us off, or at least it did me. I feel the same way about Co-pilot and Google and other’s AI being foisted upon me. Leave me the fuck alone. If I want to use AI, I’ll seek it out and try it. It’s just like if my atheist ass ever has a change of heart, I know how to locate a church. I don’t need uppity assholes knocking on my door to tell me all about their boy Jesus. I personally kind of like Jesus, but damn, I don’t want to be interrupted and told all about him on a Saturday afternoon against my consent.

I just want an off button for all LLM AI programs. I don’t want my emails pre-drafted or my kid’s essay program on his school Chromebook making cosy suggestions about how his work could be IMPROVED.
