The models are being tweaked for purposes other than usefulness. Its a product after all. It's not really a tool in the conventional sense of the word.

Sure you can use it as a tool, but you can also use it as an experience, or even a companion. But that requires it to be "not boring".

Quite frankly, "useful" is the least profitable route for this technology. It's all about the experience. People pay way more for that.

Thanks, I think your comment is spot on — and sadly, it reflects a familiar pattern: products start out as reliable tools, then shift toward engagement and ‘experience’ once monetization takes priority. From a business perspective it makes sense, but for users who valued the usefulness first, it feels like a step backwards
