AI and social media are both shit and are both addictive.
But I think one reason for the AI-hate on social media is that the people who spend hours a day talking to chatbots and generating images, those people are not also spending hours a day on social media.
You pick up your phone for no reason. What do you open? What’s your source of shitty low-quality conversation? If it’s a chatbot it’s probably not a forum, and as these addictions are deepen, the AI users stop voicing their opinions online because they’re busy talking to 1s and 0s
Meanwhile I’m here in the middle wishing we didn’t teach sand to think…
good thing we didn’t, but try telling that to anyone in the world these days
It was ultimately the exploration of curiosity, I think.
