I received an unsolicited IM from an AI bot via a group chat I was in today and what an annoyance. There were 5 full sentences before I saw it, which pushed the 'This is an AI bot' message up off the screen before I read them.

I don't have time here for my friends to IM me often, let alone random AI characters. We need to be given an option to opt-out from any interaction with these things.

I know Philip is a huge AI fan, I happen to loathe it. Create a balance please.
