What are your thoughts?

[Myles]

We're moving from tools to assistants

[Ann]

The question is how much control users actually keep

[Midnight Georgia]

This shift is bigger than most people realise

[QuantumLeap]

Pretty decent summary of it. The games that get talked about the most are rarely the ones I end up spending the most time on.

Can't really go wrong with it

[Rough Reece]

Cannot really disagree with that. Would recommend giving it a go.

[Midnight Wolf]

Worked for me too. The things that save you money consistently are rarely the exciting ones.

I will keep an eye on it

[JustMartin]

I would only bother if the saving is real and not just headline nonsense. Every bit helps at the moment

We're moving from tools to assistants.

I might be wrong but I thought it worked differently. Might have to look into that more

[Demi-Q]

The question is how much control users actually keep.

Fair point, I would not argue against it. There is usually more recency bias in these discussions than people admit.

Cannot wait for the game to settle it

[Matticus]

If I am honest I agree completely. We will see how it plays out.
