It will probably be shoehoned with whatever services people are already using. You might be reluctant to use this shit but your kids won't.
That's what they are counting on. Kids are so mentally addicted to screens with too many parents just throwing up their hands and giving in over the (perceived) lack of control over their kids, that it's all but inevitable.
Fuck off with this line go up wet dream that AI will somehow fix the ever-decreasing power of consumers by simply taking over for them.
It's the investors that matter now, not what is good for the consumer. It's now known that they will pay behavioral scientists to figure out how humans tick, so companies can better enslave consumers to their devices and social media, even if it makes them tired, sick, and lonely.
I just don't understand how someone could be so hollowed out as to need this.
If you spend so much time putting hours upon hours of your time and attention toward a little screen and responding and scrolling to it's beeps and boops like a Pavlovian dog, you tend to be mentally drained and exhausted over the day. Hence the 'appeal' of this thing.
I buy what I want and need based on... the things I know about myself and my needs. Is even that level of self-determination that out of reach to the New Westerner? I literally cannot conceptualize the use case for this and I'm not sure if that makes me more or less human.
You would be surprised how many people are convinced this is a good thing, to cede over more and more power to a device as long as it enables them to keep addictively scrolling.
They will brute force it into everything, because they count on you to get too tired, worn down and inconvenienced to resist.
The only way power one has is to resist, to accept the feeling and possibility of inconvenience, to not play the game, to not feed the algorithm.
Sometimes it means getting a dumb phone, telling the kids 'No,' when they beg or whine for a smartphone or want to spend hours online, to use cash as much as possible instead of a card. Running from inconvenience is how we got to this mess, because we lose tolerance for low-level normal frustrations and just want gratification handed to us instantly.
