> something I most often see from product managers
I am not a product manager. A data point, to help adjust your bias.
> Many product changes that Google makes these days are driven by promotions and/or increasing revenue, not to make products better for end users
Can you be specific? In this particular instance, how does AI integration increase revenue? Again, I don't know what "promotions" refers to here. Feel free to be specific, if you do.
> You can refer to all changes as "innovation", but it's going to sound unreasonable to most.
I agree, that does sound fairly unreasonable.
> Also, characterizing people who object to one specific change as having "zero tolerance for continued innovation" is ridiculous and innacurate.
Again, we are in agreement: That would be ridiculous. And so is thinking of ways to integrate AI into Googles main product as "one specific change".
