The companies are already replacing those that leave with AI accounts.

Facebook is hard to leave because whenever your friends leave, the feed simply replaces them with other friends or ads (and now, perhaps, AI accounts). You don’t realize what left. You believe you still need it to talk with your family (some family) .
You don’t know who you’re talking to on maybe forum sites like Reddit, and I doubt most users follow other users, so as long as something relatively human sounding is heckling you, it’s easy to feel like there’s still good user engagement.
I don’t know what the future holds but I hope it’s kind.

Unfortunately yes, and still lucrative along with Instagram and threads under the meta umbrella

Yes, you’re absolutely correct! More AI would help keep Lemmy fun – and informative – and increase engagement. Would you like me to show you how to integrate your current service with Lemmy? Just type “Yes” and I’ll give you simple and easy to follow instructions.

I dunno. Microsoft seems to suddenly be concerned enough about their declining user base to start doing things users actually want.

Well, my headphone app (anker soundcore) got ai and started spamming shit, am considering if the benefits of having it installed is worth it.
Context: am the kind of person who complains and then acts (eg left reddit at the api disaster early).
Gadgetbridge actually does some stuff for at least some of the Anker Soundcore headphones. Maybe it covers your use case?

Oh nice, thank you. And my model (4 anc) is highly supported. I guess I’ll switch. There we go 🤷❤️

Is there any evidence to suggest people are actually leaving apps because of AI?
- forkDestroyer@infosec.pubEnglish12 days
Only anecdotal on my end.
Chiming in because I’m also curious if this could even be tracked. I doubt companies would admit to this, and feel like they’d like prefer to lock us in and then bloat up with AI.
I could see optional services not being used because of it. I fear for what will happen with non optional stuff, like insurance companies and other services.
