  The same reason why windows has that stupid desktop search - so that some twat with an MBA can brag about user engagement and justify his existence. Also, to hoover up user data for slop machine training.

    This is like how I save money on internet by having cable I don’t watch.

    The execs just want that cable subscriber number to go up so they effectively pay me to have it.

    They had the same thing with landlines for a while.

  Play the movie where Darth Vader dies.

  Of course there are features enabled by ai. But to force it down our throats, that’s the problem.
