Kind of, what they want is unfettered access to more of your data and information. "AI" is a ruse to get you to capitulate since its clear that they are siphoning your data in order to add to its collective.
Only thing that concerns me is the end goal here. They have clearly stolen data, and used it for their own profit, but I dont think that is the end game.

Planes did not surpass them.
LOL

Because... and bear with me here.... humans developed the LLMs.

This is why "AI" will never develop to surpass humans. However, the way humans think, so will it.
This is why SciFi is so on point with its future predictions. Computers attempting to take over is possible, because we thought of it as a possibility and wrote it down.
It doesnt take much to logic this stuff out.

One does not need a complete paper trail.
So this excuse is a lazy glaze over and excuse for not returning peoples money.

Since they started advertising, I have been using blockers.
Because it is the easiest attack vector to hit people, and the advertisers dont give a shit.

You are missing a word there, likely on purpose.
We are a Constitutional democratic republic.

Are people actually enamored by the virtues of a search engine?
I feel like Im taking crazy pills.

I saw it, I was like "oh, microsoft promoting a PC build from a third party. Thats interesting"

>Increases in automation are going to help identify the Wallys of the world and fire them.

That is what they said about computers, that is what they said about printing press, that is what they said about factories and robots.

They say this to keep the working persons income down, they say this to suppress the employee.

I would tell you to mind your history, but a bot is only told what to do. It doesnt think for itself.

The Prejudice of technology, always forward, never backwards!

Remember when they moved low level IT jobs to India, and then moved them back after a few years?

basically this. But the best part is the cost will continue to increase, because to run these farms is very expensive.

> If you are any good at thinking I mean, thats probably a 33-66% likelihood judging by todays sampling of people on the internet. (Maybe 90% of those are bots, but the people who can tell us that, wont).

So now that you understand the companies running these single answer to a search engine question UI sites (fake AI), then you understand their end goal. Manipulate, manipulate, manipulate. The answer will differ by next year depending on who owns the interface. We already see tons of examples of that now. But how many people actually question it? That number is less than what it should be.

Interesting, here in Arizona, CenturyLink isnt doing anything good. Old copper, no fiber expansion, just sitting here collecting money and dust until they are sold.

Now with nuance!

Have to agree, with the uncertainty in the market, I would think that would be the greater driver to this than "AI".

Feels another "sell AI" excuse, especially with tariffs now? LOL, okay... have fun with wasting money.
