Big Tech doesn’t want to enhance your decisions, it wants to replace them. Welcome to a future where you won’t search, scroll, or even think… unless it’s on-brand.

We’re not moving toward general [AI](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/ai-speaker/), we’re being moved into it. Google’s new AI Mode skips links and drops us straight into answer land. Ask, receive, repeat. It’s part of a broader land grab: Apple, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI, and even Airbnb are building “everything apps” that promise to know your needs before you do.

All fueled by your data; texts, likes, emails, preferences, turned into product fodder. It’s convenient until it’s creepy. And unreliable: AI still recommends glue-on pizza cheese.

- Meta, Amazon, and Apple want full-stack dominance
