Everyone who’s ever talked to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other big-name chatbots recognizes how anodyne they can be. Because these conversational AIs’ creators stuff them with as much human-generated training content as possible, they don’t end up sounding like anyone in particular. Instead—to borrow the title of a 1986 book by philosopher Thomas Nagel—they offer the view from nowhere.

Imagine you owned a bookstore. Most of your revenue depends on customers coming in and buying books, so you set up different aspects of the business around that activity. You might put low-cost “impulse buy” items near the checkout or start selling coffee as a convenience. You might even partner with publishers to put displays of popular bestsellers in high-visibility locations in the story to drive sal

The other half comes from children aging into phone usage, and users in less developed countries reaching a level of affluence that allows them to purchase their first smartphones.
