I'm pretty sure Silicon Valley is just getting started at walking all over this one, and the end results are going to be horrifying. Or maybe just annoying.

I never want something to brightly say "it looks like you're writing a letter", even if it's right. Even if the computer was smart enough to write the letter for me, better than I would have. Even if GMail has read a trillion emails and thinks it knows exactly what everyone's replies should be.

No, just shut up and let me write, let me work, let me live. No, I don't want to have a relationship with a machine. You be the tool; let me do the thinking.

oh please yes. also if every recommendation system could go burn in hell... no youtube, I don't want you to choose which song is going to play next, unless I explicitely ask you to do so. Even better would be every semi-automated-insufferable-ai-and-heuristics-based thing just die (like google's search results always changing places depending on who's doing the search), that would be great! Or typing prediction always changing on android phones, this drives me crazy.

Using internet today is so stress-inducing because of all those obscure behaviours and especially non-repeatable outcomes! Using a computer should always bring repeatable outcomes before anything else, "intelligence" should be opt-in !

I love internet radio and YouTube recommendations. Just wish YT didn't autoplay by default.

There's an option do disable it. Should be a button below the video.

My experience is that that option becomes re-enabled pretty often, even when I'm logged in and on the same device. It should be an account-wide option that's preserved and respected across all devices.
