          Id like to hear your reasoning. Many people i know love AI and can’t wait for it to be in everything. I abhor it, but it is here to stay and it will only get worse. “But people said the same of the horse and buggy, the record player, the synthesizer, AI is just another advancement that will improve everything”! /s.

            Reliance on AI obliterates your ability to solve problems. We have an extreme competency crisis right now mostly because especially young people find themselves utterly helpless without their pocket rectangle and easily overwhelmed. It also convinces you algorithmic search results and AI responses curated by companies are “reality”. Turning people trusting these technologies into sedated and borderline mindless consumer cattle.

        Russia and China are stepping up their demoralization efforts.

        After disrupting and perhaps permanently crippling the US by helping to get Trump elected, the next step is of course to now support the other side so we do the funny civil war happening. Especially China is very interested in this for obvious reasons. Social media is getting swamped again with AI slop and bots en masse if the recent Lemmy posts are any indicator. Throw away your mobile phone. Barring that, delete all social media you participate in for more than 10 minutes a day. It does not “connect” you with anyone, it destroys you!

          Yeah, but then there was a post with the por que no los dos girl, and it made her older, with three rows of braces wrapped teeth.

          And I can’t exactly throw away my phone because of work. But at least AI slop is easy as shit to see

            And I can’t exactly throw away my phone because of work.

            I hear that all the time. Does your work DEMAND of you to doom scroll TikTok while on the shitter? Or just that you are reachable via phone and/or text? If it’s the latter a Nokia phone does the job and does it better too.

            But at least AI slop is easy as shit to see

            For you, and for now.

                Sorry, like always, when I write “you” I mean the ethereal concept of a human reader, not you personally. Pretty sure many here use tiktok though, made a comment about it the other day how adults dancing for kids on there a creepy, and if the downdoot R*ddit system here is any indicator, people did NOT like that one bit lmao.
