Some days I legitimately question what the thought process within these big tech companies' meeting rooms is.
Like, do they honestly think people are gonna be like, "Woohoo, more AI spyware!! Thanks Google, you're the best! :D" ???
Or do they just realize most average tech consumers are dangerously complacent over the invasive nature of proprietary tech, and use and abuse that "why switch, it's convenient" mindset to capitalize on people's lack of drive to switch to open-source alternatives for wont of their precious convenience, which is rapidly running out as more and more AI slop is added to each product every day, much akin to the late 90s when everything somehow had the internet shoehorned into it?
You know, I think I just answered my own question.
