Dear GPT, dear Gemini,
cher Claude, cher Copilot,
thanks for wasting my time

Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.

Bing, Google, and StackOverflow pushing users to use AI is like the vinyl and music industry pushing CDs in the 1990s. Like lemmings, rushing self-deprecation.

User Signals are unhelpful incentives:
Google's so-called User signals value scroll depth and time spent on a website as positive indicators of valuable content.
However, websites with bad UX easily outplay good ones when people spend more time scrolling pages over and over desperately trying to find a registration or contact form to achieve something they'd have more quickly achieved with good UX.

Instagram's UI is like an extremely hard game that will kicks you out of the process just a second before you're about to finish just to make you start over and try harder. It's a know deceptive pattern to make people invest more energy and engage more intensively, some will leave in frustration, but the rest will feel more attached to your product thanks to the sunk cost fallacy. What a pathetic waste of time! Sad.

How can I disable the obnoxious AI results on top of Google's search results page? Google's AI suggests I install a third-party Chrome extension. Seriously? Or I always have to switch to the "web" tab from "all"?

Below the AI snippet, there's a "featured snippet", so even the ads, videos, and related questions only come below the fold.

"Posting is currently turned off for this type of place," so that photo of an oil rig off the coast of Tabasco will forever shape people's first impression of the Gulf of Mexico that US citizens are now supposed to call Gulf of America.
