I think if you were visiting a personal tailor, or perhaps talking to a shop assistant, you might get something akin to that.

T: I think pink would look good on you, and it's very fashionable right now.

You: Just bring me some yellow shirts to try.

T: Oh, I got these, and brought this pink one anyway; try it!

But, of course Google isn't making fashion suggestions. But then, ... the tailor might also be just trying to shift excess stock or be on a bonus for selling that particular high-cost shirt.

Lot of mental gymnastics in this thread to defend some godawful AI.

To be blunt: My personal tailor’s first response should be to do what I asked.

They can certainly also bring some stock to shift, or offer suggestions while I’m trying something on, but if they aren’t listening when I make a direct request or when I clearly say no, then they aren’t really there for me, their customer.
