@lain "we built AI to finally solve humanity's hardest problem: How to cancel unwanted subscriptions"

jokes aside what is the benefit of the additional steps around "write an email using @this data to cancel my sub"?

@WandererUber nothing really, i just wanted to check if everything worked first. could have just been proper executive style forward with "send them a mail to cancel this", same result probably.

@lain @WandererUber eventually they will use AI to process subscription cancelations and we will be full circle except expending a million times more energy than if they just let you unsubscribe with a click
