Yeah we got the boring dystopia version where AI is just spam machines trained on our own words instead of intelligent machines who realize we’re destroying our own environment and replace us (still a dystopia from our perspective, but less boring)

Idk if it was AI but twice lately I’ve ordered something from ebay specifically to avoid purchasing on amazon and the seller has shipped me the item directly from amazon.

I hear ya' on Amazon... It's ridiculous. Lots of small shops also just use Amazon as their store front, too. You go to THEIR website, click on THEIR "add to cart" or "shop" button ... and bam, Amazon.

uggghh.
