Anyone else notice this? All proclaiming they will somehow make our lives easier with their App or product?

I'm not buying it. Literally.

they all seemed weirdly not very useful. Finding vacation spots for me? Or booking restaurant reservations based on my tastes?

So I am going to remove my post for now, because I choose to be excruciatingly correct.

I guess Hal from 2001 space odyssey scared me on AI when I was young!

And just saw a movie from 1957 The Invisible Boy about a computer taking over a boy and a robot to do his bidding.

Oh hell no!

I use Cricket and have been happy with their service. But i have been tempted enough to look into those "free" iPhone Pro deals that seem to keep popping up. Subsidized hogwash. You're just paying the phone off in an installment plan.

Oh well.
