Common Things Most People Don't Know About the AI Market that surprise everyone

AI Market

Seems like more and more people, especially in the pandemic, started realizing how much of a negative impact the internet can have on our lives and psyche. Sure, we were spending probably much more time online than we should have before COVID started, and one would expect we would only spiral down even more once we had to stay at home for long periods. Even if you are a homebody, it will start to affect you weirdly. The technology market’s influence is tremendous, and “doom scrolling” has become a new word that entered the Oxford dictionary in 2020. It means scrolling not only until your eyes bleed, but soaking in so much negative news that it makes you miserable. AI Market thrived during the pandemic, and there is a reason for that, besides the fact we mostly have to get everything online, and here are some of them.

The algorithm wants you to feel miserable

This isn’t entirely correct, but it does make us feel less important and like we do not have that one thing that would make our lives more comfortable, and us being seen as successful humans in somebody else’s eyes. Advertising has psychology mastered, and they use it to any means to make us purchase their product. Since almost every social platform we use profits from our data (what we search for online, what we watch, what we put in our cart but didn’t buy), to remind us it is there and it’s waiting for us to have it and feel instant gratification. Imagine being anxious or depressed, or maybe you saw someone on Instagram posting a picture looking great in your eyes, but you don’t feel like you have it together. You will probably find a way to feel better by purchasing something, whether it’s take-out or a product. Algorithms use your weak spots to make a profit.

Terms and Conditions

You know those jokes when we usually say we don’t even read through it (because we don’t)? Well, you know deep down there are some things you probably would never agree to, but here we are, and there’s nothing much we can do about it. In the end, it can’t be that bad right? It cannot be very pleasant, tho. How? By selling your data, you willingly give away when you click “accept”. How do they profit from it? Simple. Having compiled your data, everybody could easily figure out what you like, what you would like to have, something similar to what we were talking about above. Having your data means they also have your full name, address, phone number, and they most probably know you have a credit card (they don’t know your CVV, don’t worry). This gives them a variety of possibilities of how they could present a particular product to you, that will seem pretty normal because you’ve already searched for something similar. But you have become their target audience, and the ad will pop up all the time. If it isn’t Facebook or Instagram, you will give out your data by accepting “cookies” on a specific website. It serves the same purpose. Although obvious, many people don’t know about it and they get surprised when they get a call out of the blue, someone calls them by their name and says they were interested in something they may have clicked once. You don’t remember, but you clicked on it, or social media sold your data to someone who needed customers and had enough money to pay for it.

In Conclusion

Algorithms aren’t terrible, but it isn’t good when you don’t know where your data goes. It seems like the AI market has to change up their tactics a little bit because it got people worn out, and naturally, most of the population started to seek out nature as their comfort, keeping a safe distance and merely enjoying planet Earth. Having a rest from the internet bombarding us with information and consumerism got us more aware of how much something simple as a plant can bring us peace and make us a bit happier. Now that you know about the AI market a bit more, get away from your computer a little bit and enjoy some peace, if you can.
