If AI is an exoskeleton, that would make the user a crab.

An electric chair for the mind?

In the sense that viewpoints of people that use the term DEI do not appear to reflect reality?

What kind of sentiment do you think you would find in the training material regarding the term DEI?

You don't say? Does anyone like being told what to do?

Adults can work within a world where this is the case without acting like a child. If they can't, they might consider working on it so they can effectively get what they want.

That seems like it causes a different category of problems than "I wish I had saved more but I didn't and now I have nothing"

YouTube must be absolutely flooded with this stuff.

I clicked on one about Henry the 8th, which is a story Ive heard heard 100 times but whatever. It started out normal enough, then claimed he started carrying around a staff with a human skull on the top near the end. Made up artifacts and paintings.

The most egregious has to be the "World War II mechanic fixes entire allied plane arsenal with piece of wire" category. I've come across a couple dozen of these. Completely fabricated events and people that never seem to have existed.

> YouTube must be absolutely flooded with this stuff.

I don't know what the current upload rate to YT is, but this seems unlikely. Despite the reckless and insane energy consumption associated with generative visual and audio art forms, there's no way there's enough power available for generative stuff to overwhelm the "actually recorded digital video" uploads.

Are there some niches on YT where this is true? Seems possible. YT overall? Nah.

If my toilet overflows and starts leaking raw sewage into my bathroom, I don't tend to then go "well, at least the rest of my house is fine proportionally".

Most of these kind of videos aren't fully SORA level AI anyway, they just use ChatGPT to make up a fake story and script they would otherwise have to make up themselves, which is much faster, and increases the chances one of them gets picked up by the algorithm and generates a few bucks in ad revenue.

> If my toilet overflows and starts leaking raw sewage into my bathroom, I don't tend to then go "well, at least the rest of my house is fine proportionally".

Sure. But if you live in a multi-apartment complex and someone's toilet on the far side of the complex is overflowing, you don't say "my apartment is flowing with raw sewage".

Maybe your part of the complex (YT) is drowning in raw sewage, mine is not, and I'm vaguely confident that the complex (YT) is large enough that at this point in time, most parts of it are still functioning "as intended".

I think YT Shorts IS overwhelmed with complete garbage. There are lots of great channels I watch that don’t have issue.

But YT shorts is the one place on YT that tries to frequently show you new uploads and stuff outside of your normal algorithm, and there is so much AI on there.

>social media feels more like a private conversation in a public space

Then it wasn't very smart of you to post something publicly then.

You should be able to choose what things you want public or private, but if your intention is for public, I don't think you should be able to delete it. You can make amendments to what you say, but you shouldn't be granted the ability to choose what other people remember. Otherwise, private conversations or just saying nothing are alternatives.

>At what point does archiving everything people do constrain their ability to live freely in the present?

The point at which information you intended to post privately is made public without your permission.

I take it you've never been on a phone call, waiting until you get the chance to talk to a real human?

No it's not, it only works on ipv6 now.

Thanks for pointing that out! My ISP, (Orange Belgium), does not support IPv6 yet!

Rural-ish Michigan here. It doesn't happen most years, and almost never in winter, but it can. It seems to happen a lot less than when I was a kid.

Regardless, "my power never goes out" isn't a great plan for what to do if your power goes out. Ask Texas, they once thought the same.
