I find it difficult to take this too seriously, because Ad-Blockers already exist, are free, easy to install/use and work reliably (which is not given when ads could just be injected at the source).
- pjc50 3y agoThe interesting question is that on the majority market, smartphones, they're very far from readily available - Firefox on Android, or basically nothing on iOS (see Epic discussion). An AI device that slurps content and removes the ads is probably going to run smack into Apple content policy again.
- hackerlight 3y agoIf that AI app is any good then Apple would be putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage.

- bradyd 3y agoAd-blockers for Safari are readily available on iOS and are simply installed from the App Store.
