You yell “cloud!” in my direction.
I listen.
then I regret listening. Same for "smart" or "we have an app" or "you have a choice about cookies" or...
We are drowning in this. I remember in the beginning, people pushed back. Now we don't even push back. We do anything (programmed?) to get past it.
A friend of mine told me she was watching TV (whatever that means)
Instead of an advertisement dialog with SKIP and a timer, she was offered "which ad do you like better A or B"
she didn't want to make a choice/give any information, and just sat through it all until it dismissed itself.
"I listen" has been weaponized and now you have to listen.
Very true and timely.
