Chances are those apps were hoovering up all the data and then used for personalized advertising. The users are literally telling you what they need to buy. It doesn't get better than that.

So much of what gets invented today is just gimmicky shit which has no earthly use except to make you consume more.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
