If AI is as wonderful and world-changing as people claim, it's odd that it's being inserted into products exactly like every other solution in search of a problem.

- Planktonne 1y agoPeople voluntarily visit the internet because it gives them things they want. This is an article about unwelcome changes being automatically made. Those things are different.

- Yossarrian22 1y agoIn the 90s? Sure, Pets.com was a solution in search of a problem. Same with any Uber for dog sitters or whatever from the 10s.
- rurp 1y agoIf it's being added to a toaster for no good reason, sure. But the internet as a whole, through a browser? That's not comparable, people explicitly seek it out when they want to.
- rchaud 1y agoYeah I would, if "Internet" came with zero safeguards or regulations and corporations put the onus on the user to sift through mountains of spam or mitigate credit card leakage risks when buying something online.
