And Budweiser is the most popular beer in the world. Jesus man, things must be difficult on your planet

Yes, because the companies are paying governments to make everyone fucking use it at work

Maybe it will change the nature of humanity to the same degree as snapchat

Dumbasses like shit, and there's a lot of dumbasses out there

The Bible is most sold book.

Most downloaded or most used?

and Gemini is the first thing that pops up before you get your Google search results for "induced demand"

The computer isn’t going to jerk you off and call you a good boy, Paul.

And a terminally unfunny one bsky.app/profile/pfra...

A pedophile was the most popular presidential candidate in 2024

I wonder if that could have anything to do with various companies forcing people to use it rather than letting people choose whether or not they wanted to.

My guy. You can stop at any time.

By people being forced to use it. You're in charge of something around here? Yikes.

temple run was the most downloaded app in 2012

its also been the most deleted. lol

Does that justify forcing it on everyone who hasn't downloaded the app? It's a market, not an election. Some tech thing, serious or FAD, that lots of people like isn't necessarily for everyone. People should not be forced to use it.

source? Just kidding, you’re right

every company has an AI build they're trying to leverage, this doesn't mean anything man. you know this.

It's mandated by most managers for anyone with a desk job now. That doesn't count.

are you saying dumb shit on purpose or are you doing a bit

For work, i had to install Access to authenticate on my phone. It automatically downloaded both copilot and chatgpt on my phone and i could not uninstall it. I had to remove the Access app and profile entirely. Do you consider microsoft edge the most installed browser ? is this fact valuable ?

it's like talking to a six year old

Everyone knows the #1 sellers on the NYT bestsellers list are the most popular books ever because it's impossible to game that system. And every single one of those books fundamentally changed what it meant to be human because that's how things work.

before she went fully cultist about Sam Altman an ex-friend who works for OpenAI bragged to me that she would find bullshit tasks for ChatGPT to do so she could log that she used it X amount in her work without letting it anywhere near her work, because she'd get fired otherwise

Right, we’re not talking about people using it by choice. The conversation is specifically about the forced integrations into common systems that people use

And if that's how it worked, that AI was always optional, a lot of the big complaints about it would evaporate. The environmental impact would be so much smaller if Google, Microsoft, etc. weren't REQUIRING these things to run even when people don't want them. So much wasted energy!

you know what really helps with debugging linux issues

they put that shit in fucking NOTEPAD!!!!!!!!

Not to mention weekly headlines of Nike or HP or Funko Pop declaring "we are an AI-first company" despite it making absolutely no sense at all for their business model. People would like it if it was a fun toy, not the way you file a support ticket with an airline so they don't hire humans

It's a huge portion of the hate. Most people just want stuff to *work*. On top of that, most people really, really resent being forced to do something or accept something. With AI, there isn't even any benefit. Just this thing that used to work now doesn't, and also fuck you.

It was tied for the least downloaded app by me! And yet I can't use Google Assistant like I used to instead I get Gemini which completely sucks. So I have it turned off now. Absolutely enshittification.

Budweiser and Bud Light were the most popular beers for the last 40 years. So that means they should be forced into everyone's refrigerator, rite?
