What I mean is. Remember the time when Google was useful for getting an answer for a specific question?

Like, before SEO and ads completely destroyed Google, there was a time when it was actually useful. I feel like that about consumer AI now.

For now, if you type a specific question into your chat bot of choice it will not try to sell you anything. It will just try to answer a question honestly. If you ask it for advice, it will try to relay to you the most bland and generic advice possible. And that is beautiful. We should enjoy it while it lasts.

Because the future of consumer AI is ads. Hey Chatgpt, I am having trouble falling asleep. Sure try this mattress, take this supplement, buy a weighted blanket. It's going to be full of this shit, just like Google or social media are now.

We live in the golden age of consumer AI
