The most annoying thing I noticed about Google trying to shoehorn “AI magic” into their products is Google Maps. I try to help someone navigate with a child in the backseat and they shoveled an AI button into their UI that is even active when you are navigating… Annoyed me so much. I already picked the supermarket I want to go to, now just get out of my way and get me there.

30% open rate, huge success! Yeah because I keep clicking on it accidentally!!


The button renders itself after the user interface is complete.

It bumps over all the other buttons to the right.

The home or work button gets replaced with the AI button.

This is infuriating for muscle memory.

Whoever did this will need to beg my forgiveness if we ever meet.
