Just... Exercise caution. Mainstream big tech AI has two sides.

  1. It wants to provide human-esque answers that sounds convincing. The more convincing, the more trustworthy it appears.
  2. "IT" (big tech) wants to keep engagement like some new anti-social media; and the more you engaged it, the more sycophantic it becomes. The reason behind it is deeper dives into users' lifestyles so they can build the most detailed data profiles possible to monetize it all!

Eventually, the better they get at collecting intricate data, the more value it has to data brokers, insurers, ad companies, and the government.
