User Reviews :
Have we already been inflicted by random AI chat boxes?
With the articulation of AI, being so accurate at copying style and having the ability to influence us with accurate writing styles of popular writers and politicians; what would happen if artificial intelligence began to influence our politicians and popular entertainers? Or simply copying them by mimicking their way of speaking. The idea of AI taking on our own entertainment and political views, while warping ideas, and influencing potential followers seems like the potential for AI , or someone with few ethics, recognizing and using AI to create false narratives. Or, giving artificial intelligence the potential for creating war, and further internal and external influences, raking up undue anger and potential violence.
This app is difficult to manage
It is very difficult to manage or synch up ones subscriptions with this app. Throughout the year I am inundated with offers for new subscriptions from Scientific American, The main magazine, Physics, Mind, combination bundles, etc… Managing the that is a nightmare. If I want to add I need to go to the website and it is not reflected in the app. If I had an earlier subscription to one mag it does not reflect in the app and I cant get to it without a laborious process of linking accounts. Is there anyone I can talk too?? Forget get it! Send off an email and get a response next day… the start over again. When I am able to get things working within two months something breaks and the app refuses to download,, again!! The app looks good and when it works it is great.. but the only thing it is really good at is trying to charge me full price for each issue of a magazine. You are more trouble than you are worth. I am letting my subscriptions lapse. If I can see your magazine through some bundling service like Apple, that will be the way it goes… At least their service doesn’t break every two months and is designed to be easy to manage!!
PS. I cant even post this without giving the app a stupid nickname!!!
App is quirky
Below is a review I wrote about 2 years ago. I still have problems with the app not retaining my subscription information.
Seems like both the website and the iPad app have had problems for a couple of years that have not been addressed. I got an e-mail verifying my renewal today that contained a link to my subscription. Using that link, I got a page that said, “We have moved,” and gave another link to get to the magazine. Since SciAm just sent me that link, why haven’t they updated it to take me to the address that they’ve move to? Additionally, on the iPad app, I have to re-registered my subscription if I have accessed it for a few weeks. After I do that, I have access to the digital issues, but I don’t understand why I have to keep re-registering. This annoying problem has been true for previous versions of the iPad app. Despite these problems, I think the SciAm content is great and it has kept me as a long-term subscriber.
Great Magazine
I have been subscribing Scientific American for the last 52 years. I read ever, recently some articles have been slanted to the left of the political spectrum. I would like the magazine to publish various points of view. Seas have been rising for centuries and 250 million years ago the Georgia Coast was at Macon GA. Why can the magazine publish articles which describes those events, instead of blaming CO2 from fossil fuels as the culprit. Lately the magazine has been publishing article of little scientific value, these articles should published in a magazine which published less scientific article.
