Why Can’t AI Features Be Turned Off in Some Apps?
- AI features are becoming increasingly common in applications, often without the option to disable them, leading to user frustrations.
- Companies like Meta, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others have faced criticism for not allowing users to easily turn off AI features.
- Snapchat's 'My AI' chatbot was met with backlash, with only Plus subscribers being able to disable it.
- Companies prioritize majority preferences over individual user feedback in A/B testing when deciding which features to implement.
- Integrating AI features into products can be resource-intensive, leading some companies to avoid offering opt-out options.
- Users may initially struggle to understand AI features but eventually embrace them, as seen in cases like Netflix's recommendation engine.
- Certain companies, like Apple, provide options to disable AI features, considering the impact on user experience and product reputation.
- Strategies for handling AI features vary across companies, with some choosing to prioritize user control and others emphasizing integration and user value.
- User frustrations with AI features often stem from a lack of perceived value or understanding of how the features work.
- Ultimately, companies aim to please as many users as possible, recognizing that making everyone happy is not always feasible.

- Mental health and extremism experts state that YouTube exposes children to addictive and harmful content similar to other sites, despite YouTube's efforts to enhance content moderation.
