The ad was deceptively inlined in the article IMO. I read most of the ad before I realized it was an ad. I don’t begrudge anyone who wants to monetize with ads but I do think it should be clear what is sponsored. I felt fooled and I stop

There should probably be an audible cue to go from exhaling to inhaling no?

So it is hard? Not easy? I would agree with that position. I think the analogy with automatic transmissions misses though. Programming actual intelligence into a computer seems orders of magnitude more complex and difficult than building
