First, I can’t believe people are paying $100-200 / month for Ai crap. Second, if it were free or very cheap and I could sandbox it to only respond to painful cookie request menus to reject cookies, I would use it. I have consent o matic but it does a shit job and only works on a small percentage of sites.

On an extremely limited number of sites. It performs very poorly in real world use. Especially for academically oriented sites I’ve noticed.

You can report websites in the extension if it does not work.
It’s still better than just accepting everything in my opinion. I trust that the coverage of websites/cookie prompts in the extension will improve over time.

I have been using for a long time. Yes it definitely is better than accepting everything! . It’s a noble effort but it’'s quite limited. An AI tool focused on doing this at least in theory could likely perform better.

You can do that just with ublock with the annoyance list, or using an extension like i don't care about cookies. Simple and efficient, no need for an "ai agent" for that

I don’t care about cookies seems to be for people that feel that way. It sounds like if it has any difficulty blocking cookies is just accepts the to kill the pop up. I do care about cookies. It’s my understanding unlock will just get rid of the pop-ups and allow cookies to default to accepted.
Both of these tools are detrimental imo as they just work against the protections that were attempted to be put in place by the EU to help minimize cookie abuse. Using these accomplishes Exactly what websites want. They have made pop ups and menus annoying enough that people are happy. To ignore them and allow them to default to aggressive tracking methods.
