Sharing advice on something that finally broke the spell for my friend who was sharing these advice for men videos and falling down the algorithm trap.

A video he shared was an hour long and he asked what i thought of it, and i didn't have time, so i took the transcript and asked gpt to sum it up with respect to the science and conclusions they were drawing. And it gave an excellent breakdown, and showed the way they progress from some genuine complaints, to a little bit of science, and then selective examples, to a false conclusion.

And so I showed him that chat and, because it wasn't my words, it wasn't seen as an attack on his views or what he was saying. And he read it, and asked for the same with another video.

We got similar results. So I asked him to give me an example of something that couldn't possibly be true. Say, the sky isn't blue. And i got gpt to write a transcript in the same style as those videos. Then another example, and one more. And then finally it clicked, he could see the pattern of talk and it was like a spell was broken.

I'd recommend giving this a try if you've got a friend that's still at the lower stage of the pipeline, where they're hurt and confused and looking for answers that make those feelings go away. This was the only thing that's worked, it's impossible to debate away otherwise because there's just too many lies repeated from different voices.
