So I ordered this book from Amazon:
and Amazon’s Artificial Intelligence book recommendation machine is suggesting I might want to piggyback purchases of children’s activity books such as LILY’S TEDDYBEAR TEACHES HER TO TIE HER OWN SHOELACES.
Amazon, Facebook, etc., are moronic companies and I assume life on earth will end when AI stupidly suggests launching nuclear missiles as a good idea.
The book I ordered below is a Turkish student’s doctoral dissertation documenting how advertising has infantilized us in the 21st century. Now Amazon proves the point of this Turkish woman’s lifework.
I don’t know if we’re talking about aspie engineers running rampant, beta software testing – sorry, let’s use the infantilizing term “app” – greedy businessmen, or what.
But life is surely much dumber in 2024 thanks to artificial “intelligence”.
