The other way AI is killing self-help nonfiction: people are generating entire self-help books using AI. The human written are always better, but it's impossible to tell from a book cover and short description.
Honest question, not really related to the story: What makes someone "exploited"?
Most of us trade our time for money, so at what point does the money become too little and be considered exploitative? Are all gig workers exploited? Didn't they make a rational choice that this is the best opportunity for themselves?
It certainly feels wrong, the low wages. I'm just wondering where the threshold is.
A door sensor, for when my kid was sleep walking. There are various door sensors out there on the market, but they all set off a siren. I just wanted something that would alert my phone and wake me up, in case she did it in the middle of the night. Your not supposed to wake up a sleep walker, and I sure as hell didn't want a siren going off in the middle of the night.
Kinda sorta worked ok...just in time for her to stop sleep walking.
