AI is so hot right now and these incompetent doorknobs have FOMO.

I bet you plenty of people absolutely do want this.

Most people can barely use a computer and would love this if it worked well.

You forget a huge percentage of users can barely access their emails.

Lemmy is very techcentric and most users on here are far from the average consumer on technical literacy.

You just aren’t the target audience.

I could see the appeal as open source, self hosted software.

Not from data vacuums.

They are monopolists/oligopolists, operating like a cartel.

They create new paradigms as they please, because there is no alternative.

Consumer preferences don’t mean dick in a highly uncompetetive market with absurd costs to entry.

They will implement it, they are just trying different methods until one sticks.

Because people are the product, and these anti-features improve the extortability of that product.

It’s like they’re in a race to see who cand develop the shittiest product.

Because it is. That’s why it is called enshittification.

Shareholders are the customers now. People are livestock to be milked dry, worked to the bone, and chopped up and served to corporations.
