I feel like every day I come across 15-20 "AI-powered tool"s that "analyze" something, and none of them clearly state how they use data. This one seems harmless enough, put a profile in, it will scrape everything about them, all their personal information, their location, every post they ever made... Nothing can possibly go wrong aggregating all that personal info, right? No idea where this data is sent, where it's stored, who it's sold to. Kinda alarming

AI is just trending. NFTs and before that crypto had their moment, and they really were everywhere. It was shoehorned into places that didn't even make sense. And I think sane investors realized that and pulled out.
