I never activated Sirius, but twice a year they have a free week or so of music as a promotion. I don't do anything with or about that, but "weather alerts" start popping up. It's naturally windy in my neck of the woods so I get bajillion alerts that require pushing Dismiss while driving, but often cannot turn the alerts completely off because the Weather Alert "Off" feature is only available some of the time, but I cannot tell when without going into the menus, which present music options first. If it's not stealth spamming it's crappy UI coding. Either way, it sucks. I contacted Surius once and they said it cannot be fully deactivated. I may have a mechanic cut the antenna wire to Sirius but am afraid it would break GPS also.

Executives can't resist shoving a new spam channel into your face. Even if they can't use it immediately due to regulations etc., the possibilities make their greedy marketing glands swell with giddiness.

SiriusXM is already spamming my older model vehicle using tricks to get me to poke around in their music menu by pretending to malfunction. Long story, but here is similar behavior.

The dumb sonofabitch WOULD NOT back down.

His system had obviously accused the wrong man, but the machine "doesn't make mistakes".

The current state of "AI" is primitive and terrible.

They lie, they cheat, they take the easy way out, even if it's wrong.

People are going to be killed by shitty, fake "AI".
