Range anxiety is overblown. Electric vehicle owners only use 13 percent of their battery capacity a day, on average. in c/electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

Well, yeah, but going 100.1% over capacity can be very inconvenient, particularly if you are far from service. So "on average" doesn't consider that some numbers are worse than others.

AI could provide some minor deshitification of the internet by answering obvious questions implied by clickbaity titles. In other words, comb the link and pop up, in simplest terms, what a title baits you with.

For instance, a browser plugin that could pop up a balloon showing "It's Portland, Oregon" when you hover your mouse over "One US city likes its food carts more than any other". Or "Tumbling Dice" when you hover over "The Stones' song that Mick Jagger hates to sing". Even give "Haggle over the price and options" on the classic clickbait "Car dealers don't want you to know this one trick!". All without you having to sift through pages of crap filler text (likely AI generated) and included ads to satisfy trivial curiousity you might be baited by.

I wouldn't even mind too much if the service collected and sold the fact that I did (or didn't) get curious about the related topics. It would still be fewer ads in the face overall. So maybe monetizing like that could motivate someone to develop a service?

Or would that just make the net worse?
