This right here is why I uninstalled Google Maps from my phone. Them pushing the AI-generated Know Before You Go that you can't turn off and blocks you from getting to reviews written _by humans who went to that restaurant_ is absurd. And this is getting normalized everywhere. Amazon with Rufus. Uber with their AI-first support. Google Workspace with Gemini EVERYWHERE (that requires hoops to properly turn off). Lots of sites with their "Ask $HUMAN_NAME" features.
