The app I use to remote start my car just got a fancy new upgrade from the manufacturer. Now I've got to dismiss a popup that wants me to talk to an AI to remote start the car instead of just pressing a button.

Can't imagine when consumer demand isn't surging for AI.

This reminds me of when HHD Device Monitor Studio (a tool used to view command streams from serial, USB and network connections) added a Facebook integration sidebar as a feature. I guess so you could quickly drop into Facebook to post about your favorite serial commands with your family and friends.

FWIW this feature was removed a few years later.
