@fastfinge@interfree.ca@nicr9 Also, advertisers want to put everyone into similarity buckets. And that's what AI can be extremely good at, if it's using data of billions of people. It's not recommending the content you would like most. Instead, it's trying to find other people who are most similar to you, and push you the content they like. There's a subtle but important difference. As a blind person, I feel this a lot. I consume a lot of content about video games that happen to be accessible (Forza, Hearthstone, The Last of Us, etc). So big tech pushes me content about other video games people play, but those games aren't accessible. The AI has dropped me into the "video gamer" bucket and assumes I like the same kind of things other gamers do. And advertisers can now target me with generic video game content. Whereas distributed, personalized AI would just be focused on learning about you as an individual, instead of trying to decide what massive bucket you fit into.
