      I agree. Can’t quite put my finger on it… maybe the window behind the monitor? I try not to assume simply because of the style, but the lack of author credit makes it hard to check anyway.The weird thing is it wouldn’t at all be hard to draw by hand.

      Edit: I like all the different answers. It feels like a new, unfortunate version of the “find the differences” game.

      There are no such popups though. The issue on Windows is that Microsoft is pushing AI everywhere, whether you want it or not. But the OP allegedly used AI as a tool to generate this image when they wanted to.

      I would say it doesn’t exactly say that AI is bad moreso that shoving it forcefully in people’s throat is not the way to do it.

      If all the BS AI of Windows would be exclusively opt-in I would be “” fine"" with it.

      Then there is also the “telemetry” and the random updates, or settings changing on their own and…

          For me it’s the text (too regular and perfectly-ruled to be hand lettered, but too much variance between the letterforms to be a font) and the little AI artifact on the random doohickey directly under the bottom left corner of the AI computer monitor: Random doohickey.

          Aside from that, it’s just the weight of unmotivated choices. Why is the “good” side of the image grayscale while the “bad” side is in color (a human probably would’ve done it the other way)? Why are the desks drawn slightly differently while the person, chair, and computer are drawn the same (a human would’ve probably made everything identical to better illustrate their point)? Why all the random clutter on one but not the other (if the point was to make the AI computing experience look scattered and cluttered, surely they would’ve made it more overwhelmingly cluttered, but if it was for verisimilitude they’d have put clutter on both desks)? Also, subjectively, the “AI” logo on the screen suggests a pleasant experience, not an oppressive one.

          An unmotivated choice on its own isn’t necessarily an AI calling card, but enough of them together alongside one or two smoking guns can definitely make the case pretty strongly.

            It’s becuase they told the ai to make the right side simple so it simplified everything.

            It’s not just ai slop, they also used sloppy prompts.

    It’s not just AI, but new android phones drive me spare.

    You can’t disable that. You can’t uninstall that. You can’t make a backup of the whole phone. You can’t make a backup of one app and restore it to a different phone, unless you go through Google. We’re going to install these apps you don’t want, and there’s no way to cancel it.

      Universal Android Debloater.

      It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

      I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

          Pretty sure you can achieve the same with the standard gallery and other media apps by putting an empty file called .nomedia in the folders you want the apps to ignore. I’m using a third-party gallery app, but seems that the feature is widespread (likely because of the apps relying on Android’s own media scanning).

            And to be honest, it feels like the whole “windows is usable you just have to…” do things all the time (then it gets removed from time to time, or changed or ignored)

              Just to check, did you put in the dot at the beginning of the file name? It’s the convention for hidden files in Unixes. Could just be that Xiaomi forgot to support this feature in their app, of course, and a third-party one would fix that, like the open-source Simple Gallery.

              Anyway, I’d guess most people are fine with the gallery showing downloaded images — I know I need that to find the meme I want.

      Software MUST be always updated.

      but then it breaks or the design team needed to justify its salary again or…

      Then the problem lies with the software. Not updating it is not a solution despite Debian propaganda (/hj)

      I have no idea when it happened, but there’s a mechanism in place to download updates but only install them on reboot, kinda similar to windows, but when you want instead of when it want. It’s kinda the best of both world : updates are quick to install, downloaded in the background, and no workflow interruption.
