Talking to computers. With recent LLM craze it really rubs me the wrong way when people try to reason with an autocomplete as if it is another human being. I also am weirded by others talking to voice assistants like Alexa and using text to speech. Could never force myself to do it, and consider it a form of lunacy, to be honest.
