I’m only a casual user and I’m already sick of this phrase. I think it’s used it in every single chat recently. As an example, I was going through some financial stuff, and something came to about $13k over a year, which I divided by 12, but said “That’s about $1000/wk” instead of /mth. Instead of just correcting my mistake, it says “This is where I’m going to have to gently push back on you. $1000/wk would require a much higher interest rate” or something along those lines. I’d rather it just say “It’s actually $250/wk” and just move on. The whole “gently push back” thing is infantilizing. They were going to give us Adult Mode and instead we’ve gotten Baby Mode.
