Exemplified by this being a rant in a video with sponsorships tacked on the description and comments. Probably in the video too, but obviously I'm not going to watch it.

No I'm not, fuck off Clippy.
Turns out we just hadn't coined the term for computer intelligence being wrong as hallucinating yet.

The word you're looking for is "devolving".

It's simple - if your product or platform uses dark patterns, I will not use it. I will even use an inferior platform or product in order to be free to choose how I use my software.

Or did AI break his finger to get him to make the video?!

Contrasts and colors and bright pictures are not what I need to see while working. It's as if your screwdriver was built in the form of an alien fish dildo, and had a chain of ringing bells. Why is this bullshit considered normal and usual with computer interfaces, I dunno.
And a company's website is its interface to the world, for the user. Not its advert. They've already seen the advert or don't need it if they are on that website! They want to actually use it.
