Not really.

Maybe the special effects in some movies I've seen were fabricated by people using imitation intelligence.

I have a dumb flip phone. DU is my only social media. I've never used a QR code for anything. Advertising that moves or makes noise is excluded from my personal universe. I don't even look at the junk mail that comes to my house. It goes straight into the recycling bin before I walk into my house.

There's really no point in directing advertising my way. I never see it.

It seems my interest in new consumer technologies ended sometime around 1998.

We don't have to be hapless victims of the tech bro billionaires. We can resist.
