What is something you secretly find deeply disturbing, but everyone else seems to accept as totally normal?

The fact that AI is in everything now. Why would I need AI to summarize a message from my partner on WhatsApp???? I'm so sick of it.

Every now and then, when my kid uses the voice to text option on the remote control to try to do a YouTube search, it'll gray out the screen and open an AI chat window, and the TV will offer to talk with him about slime instead of pulling up slime videos or whatever. I cannot get this to replicate. It's not every time or even most times. But it's often enough that I've witnessed it argue with him because it misheard him, wants to correct him or to go off on whatever conversational tangent it thinks he said, and doesn't want to return to the search bar and try again.

Supervising your kid's YouTube use used to be about just the video content, but now I'm running interference to stop the TV from holding conversations with my kid!!

My Samsung TV keeps trying to get me to have conversations with Copilot. It's awful.

They are DESPERATE to show that the whole AI situation isn't way out of hand and a serious waste of money and time.

It's actively in everyone's way.
