I like how AI generated ads tacitly confirm that advertisement was never about exposure and introducing people to new things. No, it's about automating deception on a grand scale and awarding the people that can most effectively control an audience.

Why is TurboTax the best way to file my taxes, anyways?

Surprise! Companies eventually need to make some money.

True! More money means more taxes though, they should consider using Intuit™ TurboTax™ to make them easy!

My wife and I both pay for Kagi Ultimate, which they've quietly developed as a Perplexity killer. Aggregates all the major LLMs and couples them with Kagi's clean search results with citations. All with no ads, no bullshit. It's the whole corporate mission. It's awesome. I hope enough people are willing to pay to make Kagi successful.

The Assistant product is incredible. It's been my daily driver (+Cursor), since September. I don't even bother with normal search results unless I really can't find something (like a specific GitHub issue that hasn't been cached yet)
