The AImageddon continues. Today I logged into my KiwiBank internet banking for the first time in a while, and I got through the login flow fine, but then the page wouldn't load. I checked NoScript, and it was trying to load scripts from 3 third-party domains, all of which promote "#AI" on their homepages;

* https://www.dynatrace.com/

You can't get away from the digital asbestos, even in a banking app!

I tried temporarily allowing scripts from 2 subdomains of the first domain on that list, and was able to use my internet banking. But holy heck. Why do I have to expose my banking information to technofascist #MOLE Trainers?!

I'm going to see if Co-op Bank are doing the same thing. If not, I might stop using my KiwiBank accounts for day-to-day banking and use Co-op instead.
