Not entirely sure if this is the case, but I’ve started using AI to generate my ad text. The way it works is my campaign is optimized for app downloads, so it tries different texts (based around what my app is about) and sees which ones lead to the most downloads - i.e. it self optimizes.
Congrats, you setup an algorithm that aims to trigger real people to behave a certain way by tricking their subconscious trough language.
You might call this business, i call it enshitification.
When people need an app they are able to look for a fit and compare optioned tailored to their needs, ideally using factual neutral information about similar apps.
Customers who are lured into clicking based purely on a ad are not making a deliberate decision for themselves and while you are not responsible for their actions you are preying on it.
To me, and this is an opinion: All software should Be open source and free, all software should exist to the benefit of all people and preferably be well documented, and public advertisement of any kind should be contained within very strict limits.

Do you see how this behaviour was evil and not care, or did you just not even think about what you were doing?
Gross.
Predatory

Not even Jorjor Well saw this coming
I used to work with two people, one called Georgia and the other with the surname Welle.
We tried everything to hook those two up but it didn’t work out.
