Isn't this always the trade-off? While I do appreciate useful software, it gets tiring that it's almost always at the expense of a little bit of privacy or tracking. Seems like the death of a thousand cuts of our anonymity online. Although, I don't really harbor illusions that we (at least Americans) haven't been tracked since the invention of the credit card. I guess I'm a little jaded at this point as there doesn't seem to be anything I, personally, can do about it and I get a touch of FOMO when I hear about the capabilities of the latest and greatest apps. I understand that data collection is inherently necessary for AI, I just don't like who's in charge of it and making the innovations.
