I pulled together roughly two dozen tools advertising "AI customer support" and started reading past the homepage. Most of them are a chat widget with a language model bolted on, and they all describe themselves the...
ByteDance and Alibaba are pulling humanlike AI companion features from their flagship products before formal rules arrive from China's Cyberspace Administration — a front-running pattern these companies have turned...
