Young people have led makeovers of the concept of love before. But relationships with AI chatbots leave out the compromises and effort of real relationships.
I’m not so sure. Facebook was a great tool to create local communities at first.
Then it became greedy and changed the algorithm for ads and being attention driven. If you remove facebook (which I don’t use since months), it’s harder to find what’s new around you, and get out to cool events. Especially on the countryside.
It was all about “fun” in the days of MySpace and Digg and early-Reddit. That damn cat wanted a damn cheeseburger and we all laughed about it.
Then it became all about politics. And people would go to any lengths to ensure that “their” politics “won” on social media. We went from people having fleets of alt accounts, to fleets of bots, to just having AI spread and upvote propaganda.
So, it’s all just gross now. I want my goddamn Geocities & Yahoo! Towers back.
Social media was a mistake.
And yes, I’m aware of the irony as I use social media to say so. I do not apologize.

Turns out unfettered greed turns everything it touches to shit.
Also, humans in general are dumb. But moreso your thing.
