I'm starting to think that the AI hype bubble isn't really meant for consumers. We've mostly killed off jounalism and news, review publications are all either dead or bought and paid for. Ads are all blocked and influencers are managed. Reviews and social commentary are tricky to engineer at scale, unless you have a huge AI farm to generate a ton of fake conversations to steer people to decisions.
Now that the tech is available to everyone, it's an arms race to build a bigger one than your competitors to make it appear as though your 'side' of whatever you're pushing is the more predominant perspective.
Adding AI crap to products is just the cover story to justify the giant costs to have your own private propaganda machine.
It's about killing truth and creating a functionally if not literally idealist experience of the world rather by totally obfuscating material reality. That's what all capitalist technology is for.
