    Let me guess: I’ll buy a toaster because my old one died but then I’ll get ads for new toasters constantly. You bought one, you must want another. And another. And another. Why aren’t you buying more toasters. You bought one. Buy another! Buy twenty!! People who bought toasters also bought microwaves and kettles. Do you want a toaster? Does anyone want any toast?

      “No, I don’t want any toast. No toast. No buns, baps, baguettes or bagels. No crumpets. No croissants. No teacakes, no potato cakes, and no hot cross buns. And definitely no smegging flapjacks.”

      Yeah, that’s the future with AI.

      Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite. Would you like a toasted teacake?

      It’s amazing that these companies spend ultraquadrillions on advertisement platforms and algorithms and all they ever seem to do is just spam products at you that you have already purchased. Where is all this money going?
