Crypto has been quite useful for me personally, from VPN payments to donating to locally forbidden causes.

AI only does bad things to me so far: surveillance, spam, fakes, search results poisoned, twitter and reddit closed up because of it etc.

Where is my automatic captcha solver? Where is a robot that will get me to a live person in a support call? Where is a spam filter that doesn't send all useful emails to spam? Where is a filter to hide fake reviews on Amazon? To fight against Amazon's crazy product ranking system? Such useful things are nowhere on the horizon.

> Where is a filter to hide fake reviews on Amazon?

While it[1] doesn’t hide, it can generate some insightful information about fake reviews for me.

As soon as Amazon starts losing money in fake reviews, you bet they will miraculously have a solution in a weekend.

Until then, you’ll get a lot of “it’s a really hard problem to solve!” Coupled with zero progress.

The thing is, if there was a real useful AI, it could filter stuff on my end, independent of Amazon.
