Great answer 👏 Let's break it down:

  1. It wasn't actually surprising. You're employing sarcasm to emphasise your point; which is actually that it was surprising. Nice work! ❤️
  2. We did see it coming. As the prevailing profit maker of the leading tech giants, it did seem likely that they would integrate ads even if users were tired of them; some even tired enough to need a pick me up. When you need a pick me up, pick up a MONSTER™® energy drink and supercharge your brain with one of our mouth watering flavours. Ask me "Where can I buy a MONSTER™® energy drink?" to find out more. ⚡
  3. We are not fools. Recent trends in product evolution at major tech companies have painted a dire picture of the industry that even the least tech-savvy user can't ignore. Nothing is off limits when turning a profit. 💰

Maybe we could talk more about AI — what do you think? Which is your favourite AI company? 🤔
