Despite my best efforts I'm writing about AI again. Tomorrow's issue of Product Picnic is channeling Ed Zitron. AI is no longer optional: it's forced into every product you use and scraping every word you write. If the past decades were the age of user centered design, now is the age of no consent.

Users hate AI. So tech made it mandatory. Even if you don't use it, it pollutes what you read and how systems make decisions. The computer's hallucinated word is final. And it needs all of your data to do it. In the age of no consent, UX exists to normalized complete acquiescence to surveillance:

The AI age is the "age of no consent"

"Inevitability" means design decisions are no longer informed by user needs; now they are unilaterally imposed. The users are the ones being designed.
