There are a million of these out there. Most of them suck. Many are, at best, ethically gray. Even the better ones spy on you in a hundred different ways.

I'd love something that actually didn't suck, but "185 million dollar AI startup" doesn't sound promising to me.

The big problem with the concept is that there's money to be made by gaming the system and nobody is good at that cat and mouse game. AI could theoretically help, but let's be real: it's just going to scrape the same 100 identical Amazon referral listicles you'd get in a Google search, with an extra sprinkling of ads.
