A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The idea that AI would be used to prevent companies from making money seems a bit far fetched to me.
AI doesn't require a company. There are already AI created by independent groups
In it's current iteration, either you run a local model which has limitations that I think would prevent it from being used to this end (I don't know that for sure, and am happy to find out if anyone does know), or you use a corporate one. Unfortunately corps seem largely to want to use AI to make money and one of the best ways to make money in the age of information is ads. There's a reason they have become more and more prevalent despite the fact that so many people hate them.
