Early days

. . . every web app, every TV menu, and every operating system is converging into the same blocky teletubbyland Sharepoint purgatory. With helpful agents like Clippy the paperclip and amazon’s quite hilarious Rufus. Not yet on telly menus though Paramount seem to be warming up a mountain goat.

Right now, if I’d only click the unavoidably large ASK AI button, it would clear up my grammar or whatever and hurrah there’d be no sense of an individual actual person creating this page.


A blue button captioned 'Ask AI'
The unavoidably large, hey look at me, Ask AI button that kindly helps to do absolutely everything for you. In a nice way. It’s huge and distracting and if you find this part of the page unreadable, sorry, perhaps I’ve made my point. Go away helpful thing.


Aesthetically, it’s a shame.

While we’ve moved on from Geocities, could there be strong continuities, in fact? One for another post…

tl;dr: we all need to be conditioned to click in the approved way.
