It's a transparent attempt at normalization. They open up last year with the marketing blitz to get it out there, but by now they're trying to make the slop bubble into the new status quo. In the same way that of course you pay your annual subscriptions to whatever or put up with whatever DRM scheme, online tracking cookies, surveillance capitalism, and whatever else you want to bitch about, of course you now have AI shoehorned into your every interaction with your computer. The slopification of everything is a fait accompli, and so of course this vital economic service needs to be protected and sustained.
