AI is the Beginning of the End of Advertising as We Know It

AI (Artificial Intelligence) won't just start appearing one day like an all-knowing computer Genie in a lamp-shaped cloud, but you'll be surprised and amazed at how it is currently and will continue to surface in subtle ways that will change many things including entire industries and how you buy their products and services. Some things we have to purchase to survive in the modern world take research, study, and comparison and are generally hard to get good, accurate, and relevant information on so we end up picking arbitrarily or by copying what people we know did. I'm looking at your auto insurance, cell service, automobiles, and computers to name a few. AI won't be one big thing in our lives, it will be thousands of little things. They won't usually manifest themselves in an all-powerful central role like Alexa or Siri, they will be an invisible army of nameless extras hardly noticeable in the background and yet essential to almost every scene of our lives.
