AI is maximizing the move fast and break things approach, including not asking for permission from its userbase.
It's consistent with believing that AI is the future -- if a company doesn't perform really well, it loses that race. And if the userbase they piss off is also the userbase that's skeptical about AI, then they're not pissing off anyone that's relevant to the company winning.
Downside: Pissing off users is gross.
