“AI” is a marketing buzzword first and a technology second, and as a buzzword, its main function is to be a magic handwave that suggests that a product is complicated and therefore, presumably, good.

Language should be used to introduce clarity, and AI as a marketing term does the exact opposite. It lumps a bunch of different technologies together and assumes that people won’t ask questions for fear of looking ignorant about the shiny new thing.

Yes, AI tools writ large can do very impressive things, but odds are still good that the specific “AI-integrated” product being sold to you is probably a scam.

I am a Pop-Tart conservative (no new Pop-Tarts, there are only 4 good flavors and we already know what they are) and an Oreo progressive (keep making the weirdest possible flavors of Oreos that humans can imagine)

Tuning into the Eras Tour livestream for the rep portion every night so I could be the first to announce in the groupchat if the bodysuit ever changed and tonight I’m vindicated I feel like I’ve predicted the rapture and have finally been right

You are up to date.
