I really feel the naming teams 3 times

I think AI is cool, but I hate seeing it forced on everyone. I also hate programs trying to run on startup without me explicitly saying so (cough Discord Teams Spotify Steam Teams MuseHub Teams Slack cough)

Teams is so garbage that it’s actually like 5 programs all called Teams trying to launch on startup. I have no idea which one is the real Teams.

Snapchat forces their AI assistant into the top of your friend/send list.
You have to pay to remove it.
I never use it, its always there though. I named an obscenity to hopefully get their attention

It turns out most people want to socialize with their friends, not some corporate AI constantly trying to sell you stuff. It’s way closer to a stuffy car salesman than a friend.

It actually tries to upsell you???
SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Yep, I’ve seen screenshots of it. It actually inserts ads into the conversations, hence why Snapchat is trying to push it on you.

If the pandemic had happened 10 years earlier, I’m pretty sure Skype would have been the choice everyone reached for
How Microsoft managed to so thoroughly squander a market dominant position and generally positive public option to the extreme they have I’ll never understand
Even did a two-fer by destroying the progress Lync was making on the business side by rebranding it Skype for Business, while simultaneously losing interest in improving the platform, making it fall behind the curve badly and causing business to see it as more of a toy by branding it like a consumer product
