   As AI worms its way into the devices we use, I continually feel like something's missing. Generative AI like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are pretty amazing, but I feel like they just aren't doing what I REALLY want. They feel like a techbro's idea of what THEY think I want.

   Example: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/windows-11-new-experiences-announcement-may-2025

   What do you think AI should do for you that it doesn't do now? This may end up as a column, not sure. (And I don't want to hear "AI IS EVIL AND MUST DIE." Not useful in this context.)

     @dsilverman These are damn insistent worms. I think your feeling is accurate. It's all on the road to future monetization. Feels like search all over again, only this time around you've got to pay to play to give them eyeballs, even though there are some free options.

     I'm not sure what I really want out of this wave, but I"m guessing if they gave us whatever that it, it might just make their models eventually obsolete
