Are We Relying Too Much on AI to Build Products?

Hey PH community,

I ve been noticing a shift more and more products these days are AI-powered, AI-enhanced, or just... AI everything.

While the possibilities are exciting, I sometimes wonder:

I d love to improve the experience but don t want to nag users.
