    The more people leaving 'because AI' just makes me sad that there have been so few leaving 'because advertising'.

      Advertising is an irritation. AI is a threat.

        Advertising is surveillance, and surveillance is a threat.

          Are you inferring that AI is not a surveillance tool?

            I don’t think that’s what he meant. They both are surveillance tools. He’s just upset only one of those is making people advertise their leave in protest.

            Only if you are cognitively challenged.

          Correct, but advertising was a better disguise for surveillance. AI goes well beyond surveillance and many evil use cases are now obvious to more people.
