try watching a televised American football game. So many ads for AI. Of course ads appeal most to the gullible.

This post reads as if it were written by a LLM.

If you truly believe what you've written, you wouldn't use a web host attempting to shove JavaScript and cookies down my throat.

If your blog/host/post delivery site attempts to force me to be tracked and execute code against my will you are no better than the AI pushers.

The AI push is not just hype, it’s a scramble for cash. For now the only game plan is to scale up massively with a giant investment gamble, to try to get beyond the obvious limitations that threaten to burst the bubble.

Plus the general economy outlook is negative, AI is the bright spot. They are striving to keep growth up amid downward pressure.

If AI was amazing you wouldn’t need to push it, people would demand it!

You need to push slop, because people don’t really want it.

The real creepy thing is the way they force you to give up your data with these products. If it were just useful add ons, it wouldn’t bother me, but the fact that Gemini requires you to turn activity history off for paid plans for the promise they won’t train on your data or allow a person to view your prompts is insanity. If you’re paying $20 for Pro or 249.99 for Ultra, you should be able to get activity history without training or review or storing your data for several years.

This is counterproductive. Believing as this person appears to that AI is “ripping off” “creators” is completely orthogonal to sparkling “use AI” buttons in apps being really annoying. Almost everyone agrees with the latter, the former is a niche position that makes the overall essay completely unpalatable to many.

Pick you battles, if you care about software being less annoying, focus on that without tacking on riders about other political causes.
