Interesting I didn't think about that. It also wouldn't be tough for them to just scrape blogs and news sites, sites like Wattpad that host writing. Lots of data out there for the taking. I'm very curious to see how ai evolves from this point out as a consumer product.

It keeps you in their ecosystem, and if you find yourself using it a lot they charge you more for storage. They also make money from corporations using the suite of products for a fee companies will typically either use Gmail, GDrive, docs, slides, sheets, etc or use the Microsoft alternatives.

The more they can normalize their products over Microsoft the better.

I'm sure it adds to their data analytics capabilities but I'm not sure how it could be useful other than for internal reporting on product usage or upselling their own premium features.

No one is doing a cost benefit analysis and saying "hey you know what? I should start doing heroin and live on the street, seems worth it." I hope that you or someone you love never finds themselves in that position it's not a life I'd wish on anyone.

Reply to comment by secretmadscientist in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973

There are corny family sitcoms on networks like abc and cbs I'm sure. They just aren't things that appeal to the kinds of people who talk about tv shows online. The only sitcom I can think of that is on a network that people seem to respect online is Abbott elementary, but there are lots of others out there they just don't get talked about because they are cliche corny sitcoms.
