Ask HN: What AI features looked smart early but hurt retention later?

1•kajolshah_bt•1h ago
I keep seeing AI added to mobile apps as a way to “fix” low engagement.

In practice, it often just speeds up the wrong behavior. The app reacts faster, but to the wrong signals.

Have others seen cases where adding AI made the product feel worse, even if the metrics looked okay at first?
