    No faster way to get me to avoid your product than by jamming AI where it’s not needed

    I work in IT at a company who uses outlook, but has locked down the phones so the users can’t install anything.

    I can say without a reason of the doubt that outlook on Android is hateful.

    It’s still a 2010 era android app with non of the desktop features working. Like the signature not syncing with your saved ones. And focused inbox hiding important emails.

    But since the phones are locked down. These dark patten ads are twice as annoying since the user thinks there phone is broken. They just removed the Microsoft 2fa prompts on setup. But I saw this and almost cried.

    Don’t assume that users are smart enough to read or understand how this works. They press buttons until it works. If we didn’t force google play to not allow edge to download our users would’ve been in a much harder situation to support.

    GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?

    It’s not even bad they’re just annoying. Currently the only one I’d use is firefox. It has all the features without the bad things so far. Opera has many ads and also ai and a crypto wallet so i’m going with firefox…

    Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️

    This is a shitshow. I use open source mobile office suite and Outlook continually refuses to open PDF or other documents as nothing is installed, so would I like to use their bag of shit instead.
