Well, this is somewhat alarming and can't be a coincidence. I have NOT said the word "coffee" outloud anytime recently, I have also NEVER searched it in any way , I DID however type that word on this forum a day or so ago... guess what ads im seeing on my YouTube feed now 🤪... i can only assume AI found a word I dont normally or ever use and decided im now into it... i knew it listened , I didn't know it was watching me type though...
Youtube is owned by Google and every keystroke is sent to a data center creating a profile for you if you're using Google products. You will see what they want you to. Your online prices for goods are now based on what AI thinks you can afford to pay also. That why you should use a 3rd party browser with privacy control. The future is here and we all are just a number. Alexa is another one. I told my wife we need aa batteries and an hour later Alexa offered to order some from Amazon for me.

I can assure you I’m not listening or watching you! I’m completely innocent.

I guess i kinda already knew that , but i really didn't think what I am typing on a message board was at that level of surveillance... other than certain"keywords" that mean bad things, I assume those always raise attention, but not "coffee" ... really smart AI would just send me some damn samples of coffee that I may like, the bourbon kind hopefully shows up ...

AI requires BIG datasets - BIG DATASETS! There is nothing that anyone types into an internet resource that is not being consumed by AI.

What you are seeing is simply refinement in how they use and target their AI objectives. Be it advertising or surveillance, and everything in between.

Increasingly AI has been integrated into the internal business practices that run corporations. Today AI is an assistant to you, Tomorrow AI replaces you.

IBM US employees were 250K-300K 20 years ago. Today US employees number roughly 35K, and IBM is still reducing those numbers. Even IBM India is going through the same shrinking process.

The world is changing much faster than most can adjust to it. And the speed of change is increasing at a non linear rate. Welcome to the Brave New World! Blink your eyes and watch it change before you.

We live in interesting times, where knowledge has a short shelf life. What you once knew is now irrelevant.

Break out the popcorn, we have front row seats.

Once cash is gone, they will have full control.
