Perspective

One reason non-tech people are so in awe of AI is they don’t see the everyday systemic tech malfunctions.

A podcast delivered me an ad for trucking insurance - which seems like a small thing! I see ads on terrestrial TV that aren’t relevant all the time!

But in this (personalized, targeted) case, it’s a catastrophic failure of the $500 billion adtech industry. And unless you know how much work goes into all of this, you don’t see how bad these apps and processes and systems actually are at their supposed purpose.
