Very clever – takes every modern contraption and "App", together with characteristic ways of "speaking" (I assume the operator is really a machine, probably with the real name Turing), and weaves a pretty good situation out of them. Maybe a TV mini-series. Thanks for posting. |

Some time ago, I clicked on a thread here in TMP discussing a Matchbox model. Didn't click any links, just read the thread. The next day, guess what ad I received from Amazon on Google? Yup, an ad for the same Matchbox model mentioned in the TMP thread. I'm sure it was just coincidence. 🙄 |

Yep, scary, and all too real, I suspect, shortly. |

OK, cue the spooky Twilight Zone theme. "Meet Mr Lavoie he thought he was just ordering a pizza, little did he know he was making a long distance phone call to….(music reaches its crescendo)…THE TWILIGHT ZONE!!!!! Duh duh duh da!!! |

I do find the kind of "Targeted Advertising" mentioned by Extrabio1947 to be a positive feature, in that my "browsing history" (rather more frequently "updated" over the last month) clearly has resulted in some things being "recommended for you" which I doubt if I'd ever have discovered without a lot of data having been stored and analysed or whatever. Some of them were even useful and worthwhile. Yet the drawbacks of both this kind of analysis, together with developments in AI (which is, I think, different from the mechanical analysis of data), are all too obvious. It has been said of Official Surveillance that, "if you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear". Now, I suppose, there's nothing hidden, and everything to fear. Good Luck. |

Does AI pizza still taste like tomato sauce on posterboard? |

And what happens if it's cold? |
