I hate what Adobe (pdf) and Amazon are doing too. But isn't it inevitable that tech giants are going to continually (and increasingly) try to upsell us and "push" us into subscribing? They're all desperately trying to keep growing exponentially and trying to achieve (and maintain) competitive advantage. AI integration is likely to make this even more common, don't you think?
Up to today, Tuesday 2 April, I would probably have voted yes to the poll. However after reading todays article I voted no as AI moneterization (if there is such a word) will exponentially increase and we will be prompted to subscribe to more and more services to continue to utilise something which we have found useful.
Your comments on Adobe are prompting me to rethink my approach to using Acrobat as my default for using PDFs. For many years I had Acrobat installed on my devices and for the last few years have used their online monthly subscription. I have noticed the accelerating rate of change to this service, or maybe that as I get older I am becoming more resistant to change, and believe that these change are not necssarily of benefit to the user. To me it would be more useful to be able to have the ability to choose whether to accept the newer way to perform a task or stick with an older way. While this will
increase the costs to the service provider it can also allow more revenue streams to the provider by enabling the service user to customise their subscription.
Just tried Hume AI and its certainly a big step forward. I could spend time chatting away. Definitely something to follow. The interaction is seem less and there is no limits to the conversation. If this is the sign of things to come its going to be a very exciting period of development within the AI sector. I have never known a time when so much is happening in one area. The advancements in technology are happening in all sectors.
I am amazed at how good the HumeAI is. Wow. Never seen anything like this in all my life! I cannot wait to see it being applied to real like tools. Thank you for sharing and enlightening me.
I tried Hume a while ago but it only supports emotional help.. Try asking it other questions and it fails. Try pi.ai/talk - much better. Ask it to change its voice to whatever you want as well.

$AMZN continues to be like a money printing press for options traders! 🚀📈

Wow - I am continually impressed with the progress!

Wow. Very human in its interaction. However, was not as surprised as I thought I would be - I guess the AI bar is set to be very high

I've asked it loads of different things and it responds every time. Maybe it's upgraded and improved since you tried it last?
ok.
