   Beware? Why? The app is marketed as providing personalized experience. How is it supposed to do that if it doesn't know anything about you?

   I saw a black piece moving around very quickly. Is there a secret way to move without clicking twice?

    This is very true, and pairs well with the other comment about netiquette. 95% of people would not enjoy polite technical discussion forums, but the 5% that do are enough traffic for a site to survive.

    It's not the ads you are consenting to, its the personal data collection and targeting. You could have non-personalized, or contextual ads. But those are much less effective.

    I'm surprised by the overwhelming positive vibes in the comments here. Maybe I'm alone? To me, this comes across as extremely creepy, the exact opposite of what we should desire from AI in products aimed at children.
