AI is gonna shake things up big time, and people are gonna feel the need to get real. With all the tech stuff taking over, we'll prob wanna find something genuine that's not just on a screen… We'll be looking for real-life moments and connections that make us feel alive. Lot of people still keep covid regimen, replacing meetings with zoom calls and consuming news instead of looking after each other

Keep meetings as Zoom only. It allows me time to do real work.

The cheerful and polite writing of AI in sync with marketing and corpo-speak will push real humans to adopt minimalized and bitter communication to differentiate from the fake one.

Worse, many may end up looking for something to fill the void left by lack of social interaction and not know what it is they're looking for. Others may not know how to socialize if they do know they need it, and may struggle as a result.

  I think it's even worse than that. AI will claim it is socialisation, and people will believe it. Chatbots and their enthusiasts will claim they're just as meaningful and valid as in-person human socialisation, and will actually make every much, much worse. But as a former secondary school teacher, I can already tell you a lot of these kids don't know how to socialise. They have no concept of empathy or of there being real people out there. All their socialisation is pretty much done only through their phones, and it's not good for them at all. I was like that myself - very shut-in type guy from about 13-16 even though I did have friends and school to help, and I still find myself struggling with a lot of social cues and stuff that I should've been developing then.

I am pro-ai but it needs to be regulated. I know we always talk about the dangers of technology and in the end it turns to be good, but this time there are different components to the equation, that to me seems dangerous. Some of the parts for me are: - This things are coming in the worst moment possible to the economy. - it is majorly controlled by small minorities who are infringing copyright and other licenses and nobody is really doing something about it. - the current AI are not as spectacular as people think, but still super powerful. It will take many white and blue collar jobs but these people are already struggling to keep up to pay for education and they are getting doomed to a worst future not only for them but for their kids. For me a way to solve that is to tax specific types of AI with decreasing taxes. Let's say it starts at 70% and descrease 2% a year. This would allow for some population to go down enough so we need this solution and it would allow people to find the next thing to do while not being prohibitively for research and special use cases.
