Is it really that hard to just hit cancel yourself?

When you're holding a hammer all the world looks to be nails or something.

EDIT: Also, there's no way in hell I'd let any of the AIs near something with my credit card info saved in their current state.

The idea of using an LLM to manage media streaming subscriptions seems completely bonkers-nutso-crazy to me. Then again, I don't have streaming subscriptions anymore. I'll grant that streaming platforms played dark-pattern games with cancellation a decade ago, which is part of why I dropped all of them, but iOS and Android are both pretty good about routing subscriptions through their respective app stores and enforcing standardized, easy cancellation for end users.

The amount of energy in your brain it takes to do this basic thing versus the amount of energy in a datacenter somewhere, and the slide into cognitive atrophy that must result...

There are things I'll happily use LLMs to accomplish, but offloading day-to-day executive function will never, ever be on that list. And every day I understand and sympathize with the ethos of the Butlerian Jihad more and more.
