    Of course, AI will be used, first and foremost, to push advertising messages.

    Is it just me, or do others also wish they could use public transportation, go for a walk in a park, or watch an educational video without being constantly bombarded with ads at every turn?

    If there’s a jurisdiction that has an environmental protection tax on display advertising, whether in the real world or online, let me know. I’ll be the first to move there.
