Part of the reason for the blinking icon begging to be used is because AI chat is a new interface being grafted onto existing products. It's difficult to get people to make the habit of using a different interface to a familiar product. That's why google can get people to use AI by injecting the response above the results. But facebook messenger for example throws a metaai icon in the lower right corner because they cant figure out a natural way to create discovery that isnt intrusive, and is able to silently hijack some existing muscle memory.
