I appreciate your reply, thanks!

About the “individual choice”: it indeed is, unless tech companies make bad choices. Like GitHub recently showed a button “what are my PRs?” When pressed it asked copilot to give you the list of PRs (incomplete btw). But there already exists a page for that! This is just wasteful and we should blame a company for that.

Or Google running an AI summary on every single search even though you mostly ignore it. There was no need for Google to do that, and it wasn't my choice.

		I'm not saying it's a good reason, but very clearly there was a reason. I'd expect at least part of it trying to retain/capture Google search users and advertise that chatgpt isn't the only game in town. I'd bet without those summaries the lay person would not know Google had their own AI app.

		AI summaries are mostly shit.
