I guess the crazification AI has claimed its first victim. Eh, it's a concise expression of an idea Charlie Brooker (of Black Mirror) and others have been promoting in their work for years. The famous-at-least-on-here Meditations on Moloch covers it, IIRC. Not really out-there or new. Capitalism learned to pull the teeth of any new counterculture, and turn it into a product, and the history of postwar pop culture is basically its learning to do that, then doing it over and over. The same observation dates to at least the '80s, from actual humans, it's not some gibberish mash-up created by an AI.
