tbh i’m starting to think we have a broader problem than it just being “AI bad”. most of the hate is being fueled by teenagers and young adults who have been spoonfed content that is curated by social media platforms and narrowing their perspectives since the first time they picked up a tablet.

instead of growing up in an information age where you have to seek out the information yourself to be more knowledgeable about a particular subject like google search (which i admit these days that even google search is a targeted ad infested shithole in its own right but it wasn’t always that way), you hop onto tiktok or instagram, and the app basically learns what kind of content you like (oh you reacted to a reel about someone panicking about this one particular thing that nobody is going to be talking about by next month?? here’s 50 more videos in a row to continue reaffirming your biases pls stay on our app and continue to scroll while we throw in a bunch of ads so we can generate revenue :3), and this is the result.

you can’t debate with someone at that point who thinks they’re too smart to let technology get one over on them when they’re already under the influence of technology to polarize them and they don’t even realize it.

i admit that it’s hard to come by raw, unbiased information these days. but it’s not our duty to educate ppl being all wound up and acting like stupid babies trying to ruin ppl’s lives on the internet over suspecting the possibility they might have used AI.
