<![CDATA[Ads everywhere.]]>Ads everywhere. Usage limits. Frustrating guardrails. Less model choice. Users of the Character.AI chatbot app are revolting after a series of changes they say have made the app worse. This is what the future of AI actually looks like https://www.404media.co/lobotomized-character-ai-is-showing-what-ai-enshittification-looks-like/

I sometimes wonder if every single thing online/app-wise is going to go the enshittification route. Because these geniuses feel they'll otherwise not make enough money off us.
On second thoughts it's offline products like John Deers tractors too, and whatever the trains are that had their software locks successfully broken for repairs away from the mandatory repair shops that charge over the odds.

I don't like that general development. Things ought to get better.

Grateful for your framing of it in terms of enshittification and non-profitable business models 🙏
