Force-feeding 100s of different AI features (90% of which are useless at best) to users is what's wrong with the approach.

Force-feeding 100s of different AI features (90% of which are useless at best) to users is what's wrong with the approach.
Why?
It's not "force-feeding". You usually get a little popup highlighting the new feature that you close and never see again.
It's not that hard to ignore a new "magic wand" button in the toolbar or something.
I personally hardly use any of the features, but neither do I feel "force-fed" in the slightest. Aside from the introductory popups (which are interesting), they don't get in my way at all.
It's popups. It's emails. It's constant nudges towards changes in workflows. Most importantly, it's accelerated the slurping of data and aggressive terms of service by an order of magnitude. Sure, in theory everyone wanted your data before, but now everyone wants all your data all the time. They want to upload it to their servers. They want to train products on it. And they want to ban you from using their product if you don't agree.
