    Building this into the OS is clearly unnecessary, there’s obviously another motive here…sweet user behavior data?

      UI/UX job replacement. And to get you used to using it so they can charge you for using it later.

      They don’t need AI to do that.

      Remember that businesses are made of people, not clairvoyant cunning machines of profit.

      Last year, NFTs were the thing that was going to change everything, and everyone wanted to find ways to bake them into their thing, whatever it was. Fast forward a year and we hear about weird failures, abandoned plans and a slight chatter about the very small handful of uses where the idea makes sense.

      Right now, chat and generative AI is the thing.
      Project managers at companies were told to find ways to fit the thing into profitable places, and a quick way to do that is to stick into into any place with a textbox and user interaction.

      Next year, we’re going to see 95% of those ideas disappear, and the remaining will either be where it makes sense, or where the project manager is particularly good at their job.
