   Feels like we're now firmly in the "desperation" phase for companies who have sunk a ton of cash into AI which nobody asked for. They're frantically trying to justify that spend in via evidence of "user engagement" in any way they can.

   I'm sure we're all seeing increasing pushiness and use of dark patterns to force use of AI e.g. WhatsApp searchbar now being "Ask Meta AI or Search"
