i wonder if they have a fear of getting it "wrong"? they weren't told, and haven't learned, that life is full of scary choices, so the idea of the computer just telling you the 'right' thing to do is appealing.

my mother-in-law needed new plates for ages and didn't buy any. then we bought some because we moved house. then she bought the exact same plates we'd bought, presumably because it was safe to do so.

Possible! I do think there's a lot of interesting (?) psychology going on with it all.

i saw someone claiming that agentic ai would make it easier to book holidays. and as someone who likes planning holidays, and who has had to use the phrase "well at least we *know* this was a bad idea, now" more than once, i just... don't see the point of not doing it myself?

No, I sometimes think I like the planning more than the holiday! (Which reminds me, bookings are open for the fancy namesake restaurant I want to book for my next one so I should do that!)
