if you remove the very concept of capital gain from your “important point”, I think you’ll find your point to be moot.

Profit or not: How is it OK if your personal data is shared with third and fourth parties? How is it OK that AI allows for manipulating vulnerable people in new and unheard of ways?

I'm not saying that's ok, did you even read my reply or are you just being needlessly contrarian? Or was I just being unclear in my message, because if so I'm sorry. It tends to happen to me.

You're not the only one who doesn't live urban and who has mental health issues. I did not want to make it a contest so I did not reply to that.

But.

So.

If I imagine being in such a situation I just don't see how a chatbot could help me. Even if it was magically available already, possibly as a phone app, and I wouldn't have to seek it out first.

Sorry.
