Google is updating the Play Store with AI-powered app reviews and curated spaces. The company hopes it’ll be a place for people to just hang out.

The curated spaces.

Curated spaces where we can...interact with bots?

I mean we already have social media and most people don't particularly like bots THERE, why would anyone want them impersonating people in MORE places?

Now, if someone fed a bot all of the manuals, faq's, and support topics for an app like TREK: Total Interface and made it known it was a support chatbot, maybe I'd use THAT when I wanted help with the app because it's complex enough that such a thing might be USEFUL, but otherwise? No.

AI bots should serve people, not the other way around.

I'm rarely even in the store so I don't care. And by rarely I mean I think I've used the store like 3 times since seeing up my phone.

Makes sense, I really want to understand who the the full target audience for this is and who thought up the idea. I smell middle managlement bullshit but maybe there's more to it than that

IME the goal is to find as many places to shove AI as can. Sense barely comes into play.

Yeah, it really feels like the end result of a TPS report
