@daniel @paoloredaelli @der_mit_ph @thibaultamartin Two points: 1. "you can choose to switch it off" is *not* "opt-in". That's really "opt-out". And defaults really, *really* matter. 2. It's less the "AI" story and much more that they seem unable/unwilling to listen to their user base. It's the tone-deaf responses from a management cohort that get their money from AI-invested corporates.

And defaults really, really matter.I don't know how the quote was unclear. 1. Opt-in 2. Try out 3. Switch off again if you don't like it2.

From a business perspective, it is entirely understandable to want to satisfy a broad user group. Keep up with the times or time will pass you by. The smallest user group usually makes its voice heard the loudest.
