Anecdotes, etc. but my 65 year old dad is pretty low tech and he was paying OpenAI $20/month before I was.

Little off topic but I just got done cleaning up my friend's dad's estate. He had dementia the last ~5 years of his life.
The amount of random fucking subscriptions this senile old dude was paying is mind boggling. We're talking nearly $10k/month in random shit. Monthly lingerie subscription? Yup, 62 year old dude. Dick pill subscription? Yup. Subscription to pay his subscriptions? Yup.
It makes me really wonder how much of the US economy is just old senile people paying for shit they don't realize.
We also found millions in random accounts all over the place. It's just mind boggling.
He had dementia that bad at 57?
Ouch, that's not nice. My grandmother has been in care since 2020 and no idea who anyone is (forgot kids, husbands, etc), but at least she was in her 90s when it started going bad.
