To be fair, when Facebook was still big the privacy advocates were being branded as paranoid. Those turned out to be right after all.

To be fair, my father tends to make messages quite incomprehensible by adding irrelevant information all over the place. Sometimes going on for multiple screens while it could easily have been a 2-3 sentence message.

Sadly I think AI would even be worse at picking up what information is important from that. But I understand why people want it.

As for very active groupchats, I am not gonna read +25 messages a day, but being able to glance the gist of it would be awesome.

I had not yet considered that. I am not sure if I agree but you have given me something to think about. Thanks

Most of my family couldn’t have a good faith argument if they tried. They think they are arguing in good faith but it’s just logical fallacies all the way.

Surprisingly they are quite left. Like they arrived at mostly the correct conclusions mostly by accident.
