5G and Shannon’s Law

I thought the one lesson we all learned from Clippy is that this kind of interruption is more annoying than useful, I guess the new generation of developers have never experienced Clippy?

Also why would I need help when reading a blog post??

It's not about usefulness, not really. It's about engagement and retention - much like newsletter spam and annoying please-subscribe popups, The Metrics always apparently show that they work amazingly compared to a clean page.

Oh yes, hand-waving "The Metrics". What do they say about how often and the speed in which reader view was enabled?

I especially love when these things pop up on careers pages. Just demonstrate to me how lazy your programmers are and apply the chatbot to all pages, why don't you?
