Minesweeper, Solitaire and 3D Space Pinball are remembered fondly because they were entertaining and stayed out of the way. Copilot is the opposite of that. I don't need to see a Copilot prompt to "clean up my data" when I open an Excel file.

There's historical examples too, years ago people were pissed when Apple and U2 force downloaded their newly released album onto everyone's iPhone/Pod, and there's also the reverse where some highly anticipated game release will have servers overwhelmed by demand. It's hard to see any organic desire for AI in the general public, a new model releasing doesn't cause a wave of interest.

I mean, the vast majority of the time, I don't care. The one that actually did make me mad was Apple Messages getting pre-generated replies on every Messages window when you click into the field, which a) I don't want, and b), and this is the irritating part: the little popup thing that shows them so you can click them obstructs the Enter key from sending whatever you have typed. So you constantly have to either hit Escape to dismiss it, or click it away, before you can send what you actually want to send.

It's remarkably fucking annoying and is genuinely one of the worst UX decisions Apple has made in like a decade.
