    Just think ahead to when they try to humanize AI by adding back in “personalities” - basically replacing the human answers offered freely (at no monetary cost), and freely moderated by humans, with for-cost versions that are 1/1000th as good as the real thing.

    You will own nothing - not even your personal opinions - and like it.
