I can see in the comments that most people are in support of the tooter, but I think they come across extremely rude and arrogant.

The fact that a CEO took time out to try and engage and discuss this users fears and concerns should be applauded.

Regarding the overarching issue that AI is being folded into everything. How is anyone surprised? A few years ago, it was machine learning and now it's AI. There's a lot of very clever people doing clever things and shoehorning them into our lives in dumb ways. What does that mean for the average person? That they are forced to accept it or go elsewhere, because the reality is that if all competitors present AI summaries when you do a search, consumers expect that.

Hell, I expect my keyboard to know what I'm trying to say when I vaguely press along a single line and get upset when other keyboards can't do it. And if at any point, I felt empowered enough to write a scathing blog post, I'd have the decency to have a conversation about it. But that's just me.

Be better Lori!

Hi... Vlad? ๐Ÿ™„

Two points:

  • "a CEO" is not something special, anyone can become CEO by simply registering a business.
  • When a person ("user") tells you they don't want you to contact them... shut it, period.

This guy pushing his "explanations" against the user's wishes, is a really bad sign for the company.

Very mature of you! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

When you post things publicly, you take on a level of responsibility and as such you need to be accountable, Lori doesn't appear to like accountability though. ๐Ÿซฃ

If free speech requires everyone who makes a statement or belief to engage in debate about it, I don't believe it would work very well.
