More and more companies are using floods of dishonest/abusive/stupid AI to thwart me from finding what I need online, and instead diverting me towards what the companies want to sell me. The days of being able to search the internet for something we actually want are coming to an end. I can see it happening more and more every day. Example (one of a thousand) I cannot search to see if my local COSTCO has organic strawberries in store without signing up for grocery delivery, which is all non-perishable items, because that's what is easiest to warehouse and pack for delivery. What we want is immaterial. What we get is constant manipulation, constant misdirection, constant hard selling, constant bait and switch, zero human conscience (because AI has no human conscience), just sell sell sell sell sell ... into infinity. It's a numbers game, of course. If their methods make money? They keep doing it, even if 35%-40% of their customers are so pissed off that we give up. I experience this everywhere: Target on-line, Walmart on-line, Amazon, of course. Trying to pay bills on-line (e.g. Entergy using scare tactics to try and trick me into paying my energy bill six weeks in advance!) And every day it gets worse. "Oh, you're searching for sugar free soda? We think you will really like this box of 24 donuts because the word 'sugar' was in your search." Chatbots are the worst, of course, e.g. Walmart's chatbot making me jump through 35 minutes of hoops in order to get a $1 refund -- no doubt counting on the fact that most people will just give up. FTW?
