I use these strange machines all the time. They have gotten notably smarter. That’s my personal experience. They still do things that I find incredibly annoying and “dumb”. And I s…

For someone like Ed, it feels like way too much effort to wade through the muck. I personally can't stand anything that whiffs of "outrage content" . Doubly so if they are stupendo…
