At best, it's JARVIS from Iron Man 3 when he went all buggy and crashed Tony in the boondocks. lol

Because the law is optional in Texas.
I'm guessing the entire point is to goad someone into suing so it makes its way to SCOTUS and becomes optional or worse nationwide.
To me it is the ultimate gamble with one's own thought autonomy, and an abandonment of truth in favor of false comfort.
So, like church? lol
No wonder there's so much worrying overlap between religion and AI.
I'm about that same age but am so glad we've largely abandoned the "www" for websites.
On my personal project website, I have a custom listener setup to redirect people to "aarp.org" if they enter it with "www" instead of just the base domain. 😆

The only one I didn't hate was the jingle:
🎵 "F-R-E-E that spells "free"
credit report dot com, baby". 🎵

Yeah, but they should take that pissing contest out of the UX.
I was an adult during that time, and I don't recall it being anywhere near as annoying. Well, except the TV and radio adverts spelling at you like "...or visit our website at double-you double-you double-you dot Company dot com. Again, that's double-you double-you double-you dot C-O-M-P-A-N-Y dot com."
YMMV, but it didn't get annoying until apps entered the picture and the only way to deal with certain companies was through their app. That, of if they did offer comparable capabilities on their website but kept a persistent banner pushing you toward their app.
The baguette cushioned his fall and the striped shirt scared away any predators. The beret was just a beret, though. Even if you've fallen down a 130ft ravine that's no excuse to look dowdy.
(None of this is true...probably)
I predate both of those events by multiple decades lol.
Printers were well established even on the Trash-80 I grew up with. The bloatware drivers aren't really what I'm talking about. I suppose Clippy could be considered prior art to the whole "shoving AI in your face" but at the time I was a WordPerfect fanboy.
I learned a long time ago to never install manufacturer printer drivers. Or, at least, never install them from the provided Setup.exe.
They've always installed a bunch of bloatware (HP has always been the worst but other brands are just as bad).
If you look in the setup folder, there's usually the raw drivers you can install from Device Manager. If the driver package is just a single .exe file, you can usually unpack it with 7zip and get at its inner contents.
If that fails, the system-included HP LaserJet 4200 PCL driver is about as close to a universal print driver as you can find lol.
