I see Google's getting a bit jazzy with its tooltips this morning.

My dad (in his 80s) just asked me how to disable AI Overviews in Google because he finds them confusing and inaccurate. Showed him Web results and Duck Duck Go. Glad he knows the risks, but I wish there was an easier opt out in Google.

Perplexity told me to eat these.

Nice try, AI bot.

(Note: I am not planning to eat them and wouldn't even if someone said it was fine. So please don't @ me 😀)

Binge-watching the new Alan Partridge series and the Substation section had me weeping. All-time best Partridge series?

Lush closed its UK stores, factories, and online operations today.

I didn’t realise until I saw the news on TikTok. Good on them for taking a stand.

Shops in ROI are closed tomorrow.

A great example of low-effort content here, directly from the Google team.

America’s highest earners are most concerned about being replaced by AI.

Some thoughts about why (and what happens if they’re right):

Another example of AI chat bots and terrible UX, this time from #Barclays.

No other options to contact Barclaycard except via phone, and the lines are closed.

This is an obstacle, not an assistant.

I was honored to get input from @mariehaynes.bsky.social on the future of work:

AI's impact on work feels scary.

But I try to remember this: "Humanity will adapt, and the resilient will find incredible opportunities in this time of change."

29% of people are paying for the #AI tools they use at work.

But the bigger question is... why?

I spotted a really good Reddit discussion in the #ChatGPT subreddit. Wrote up some thoughts here:

If your AI chat bot is a front end for your content and nothing more, get rid of it, because I guarantee customers hate it.

This one from Haven:

- can’t connect me to a real person out of hours
- can’t get my last surname right, because it doesn’t accept two words

OK, I gave GPT-5 a chance but I’m back with Claude. I don’t have time to scroll 12 times to read one response. Even with a system prompt limiting the length, it just won’t stop.

It’s like Black Friday for AI hot takes.
