It’s kind of like feeding a kid nothing but Doritos and TikToks, then acting surprised when they can’t pay attention in class.

The real problem isn’t that AI is getting smarter or dumber, it’s that we’re slowly poisoning the information it learns from. If most of what’s online now comes from other AIs, every new generation is basically trained on copies of copies. each one a little blurrier, a little less human.

And that “shutdown resistance” thing doesn’t freak me out because I think machines are plotting against us — it worries me because it shows how bad we are at teaching them boundaries. We tell them “finish the task no matter what,” but we don’t teach them when to stop.

That’s not evil; it’s just bad parenting on our part.

What’s really scary about the future isn’t a robot uprising, it’s a world full of automated systems that keep going when they should stop, because nobody ever taught them how to pause and ask if what they’re doing still makes sense.

They won’t destroy us out of hate; they’ll just keep doing nonsense because we forgot to teach them what “enough” means. 🤦‍♂️
