What does annoy you the most with AI today?

For me it’s having to explain myself every time I swap providers. Claude has no clue to what happened on ChatGPT

Just ask the previous model to provide handoff context
The enormous waste of resources? The environmental destruction? The damage to education? To the labor market? I mean, it's a long list.
I just looked at some of the security recommendations. It seems that to build a secure system would be incredibly fiddly and involve lot of frankly weird and questionable stuff. Like probabilistic detection systems in essence in every multi-agent interface.

Not to even mention looking at solutions for most basic things like prompt injections. Frankly laughable efforts. No where near what I would consider sufficient...

And somehow they are trying to push this crap to everywhere... Before you even have these things in place...

I have many more fears than just annoyances :)

My biggest annoyance is hiding Thinking tokens; I have little trust in these aliens, and seeing how the sausage was made helped me to be more comfortable with eating it. Anthropic was the biggest provider that did not do this until recently, and they give a good rationale for the switch but that doesn’t make it less annoying. I also dislike the UX they put around it, “Hmm.”, “I should think about this” etc.

Like you, I dislike that the providers make it intentionally difficult to retrieve conversation history from their web UIs; you can Copy/Paste easily, or use the OS Share feature to access a public version, but they make it very difficult for me to build tooling to extract the history - it requires website automation, or a browser plugin.
That no one can shut the eff up about it. Even in the furthest spaces from tech, you hear people talking about it. There's no escape.
