@kirstendrysdale: I recently started receiving ads on social media for "educational" history apps. It soon became clear these were almost all just AI-generated junk apps, or outright scams to steal your money. This seems, to me, yet another symptom of the era of enshittification we're in, which is being turbocharged by AI. There seems to be a flood of these AI apps now, so I thought I should warn you about them. Please, if you know of any educational or history apps that are actually good, useful, and not scams, let us know in the comments! #AIapps #artificialintelligence #History #historytok #enshittification #scams

Curious about that rationale for using AI voices yourself. Also, if ad platforms are getting enshittified enough that ads cannot be trusted at all, doesn’t that devalue the entire platform?

Terms and conditions: Do not rely on this app for historical decision making? what is historical decision making? like time travel? 😂

Instead of your actual credit card, can you use visa gift cards for identity protection?

i don't usually use apps, and i haven't listened to them for a while but podcasts are a pretty nice way to learn about history. i try looking for ones that have been around pre-2020/ai boom. i will need to vet them again tho to check they don't use ai 😞

I love this account! Sidenote: is this a niche in the market that could use an (actually good) app? Might be a good side project to work on

Sacrificing your credit card to check whether it’s a scam is BRAVE! Thank you for your service.

For what it's worth, I don't think much of Duolingo as an educational app either. Not bad on this level, but really not as good as it likes to represent itself.

They're trying so hard to prevent people from using adblockers, and have never done anything about the exploitation of people who actually click the ads (that should always be blocked).

Can't recommend enough using a prepaid credit card next time! 👍👍 That way you don't have to worry about further charges or all the palaver about having to cancel your card & change all your direct debits.

Terrifying that it helps itself to your bank account like that. I instantly block pages that are posting AI without marking it clearly that it is AI. It's frightening how realistic some are but it's getting a little easier to spot them.
