Where's the value in figuring things out for yourself?

My sister lets an AI app plan all her kid's activities now

I was at my sister's house last weekend and saw her using this AI app that maps out her son's whole day, from breakfast to bedtime. It picks educational videos, play times, and even suggests family chats based on his mood data. I mean, it seems efficient, but idk, it makes me uneasy. The app tracks everything he does, and who knows where that info goes. My sister barely makes choices for him anymore, just goes with what the AI says. What happens when the kid grows up thinking a machine knows best? It feels like we're trading family gut feelings for cold data. Maybe it's just me, but this stuff is creeping into homes way too fast without enough talk about the risks.

Update: My drone review made the neighbor's dog think it was a giant bird

I was filming with a review unit in my backyard when the dog next door started barking and chasing it. The owner came out yelling about aliens until I landed it and told her what it was. What's the weirdest reaction you've gotten while testing a gadget?

My shop thinks I'm weird for liking the smell of fresh cutting oil

I mean, everyone else complains and opens windows when we change it. But I find the scent kinda sharp and clean, like things are working right. Idk, maybe it's just me, but I think it helps me focus on the setup. Am I alone in this, or do others have odd preferences too?
