This week at work, I had to use a brainstorming board software that I'm not familiar with, for an outside collaboration.
And the meeting organizer asked us to put a picture of ourselves onto the board, so we can track who's working on what.

I thought, you could do that with the "Sticker" feature, because it had a file upload dialog. So, I upload my photo there and after a few more clicks, nope, that's not how you do that. Instead, it had generated 4 pictures of me in dumb poses.

I would love to know what they were thinking:

There was no explanation, so why would I assume that the file upload dialog isn't just a way to add custom images?
It's rather creepy to just take my picture and spit out fakes in poses I've never been in.
Who's actually going to use this? I'm sure some folks find it hilarious, but only the first time around, too.

Yeah, all in all, it just felt like they had to shoehorn in an AI feature, without rhyme or reason.

YouTube added a "feature" like that, where it generates thumbnails for your video. It's at least obvious that that's what it's doing, but people don't seem to like seeing realistic AI-generated images of themselves for some reason.

It's everywhere like that. GSheet recently forced their "gimini" side-bar window to be always open. Imagine my frustration when I open CSV with internal ID's and that ai shit is like "how can I help you?". You can fuck off for a starters, those are UUID account IDs, generated randomly, fuck you mean "can help you organize them"?

Not only that, but it takes precious screen space, covering my actual data. What a sick joke.
