I know it may be hard to believe if you only browse Lemmy (like myself), but the average person actually likes these so-called “AI” tools or at least a significant amount of them do.

This is probably true but makes me sad. I tell all my friends not to use the lie machines but a bunch of people at work use them all the time.

I don't think there's any evidence that AI needs to be baked into the browser. They have a robust extension ecosystem for this sort of thing.

They don't think. They feel. They're little better than toddlers. You wouldn't ask a child how their blanket is going to protect them from ghosts.

Mouse over is a bad interaction, except for maybe showing tooltips. You can't do it on a phone. You're going to create mouse tunnels (where the user accidentally mouses out and closes the menu). And yet I see them all the time.

Double click is kind of a bad interaction, too. A naive user looking at the device isn't going to Intuit "if I push this button twice rapidly something different will happen". There's no double right click or double dual click. Nor is there a triple click. It never should have become a standard interaction.

I've lived in the suburbs and traveled around the US a fair amount. I think sometimes about a time I was in suburban Illinois, and we were like "maybe we can order some food." Opened up google maps and it was a wasteland. I think there was like one KFC open in the area.

My mind is more blown by why people defend living like that. Or actively choose it. It's a horrible kind of place to live.

Ok, fine, sometimes there are tradeoffs. A guy I know bought a house out in the sticks someplace in the northeast. Has a yard for his kids. It's not too expensive. But it's a long-ass drive to get anywhere, and there's nothing to do. Not a trade I would make.

I think you're just duckspeaking words like "privileged".

Maybe, but they might also say something like "Right. They followed the law and jesus was crucified, saving everyone." There are probably religious arguments to make, but religion (at least christianity in the US) is often just emotional slop.

One time when I was on a grand jury, I tried to convince the other jurors that we don't have to send people to jail for marijuana. It's stupid and unjust, and we can just say no. They don't make you show your work. (Yes, on a grand jury the prosecutors can just try again, but it wastes their time.)

Those half-awake bootlickers weren't having it. "We have to do what they told us!" "What, are you a dealer?" "The law is the law. Call your rep is you want to change it."

Maybe an ad campaign would move the needle, but there are a lot of stupid, selfish, people out there ready to lick the boots.

I was asking which specific hell they live in, but clearly I did not phrase my question clearly.
