That’s true, but I can simply choose not to use TikTok and this isn’t relevant at all to me.

- notamy 4y agoYou can, sure. But we're in the minority of being users of a fairly niche tech-centric forum. What about when you're a teenager, and all your friends are using <ai-powered app>, so you're left out of <some group experience>? What happens when you're a kid who's raised primarily on this sort of content? This alone could mess up large parts of the relevant generation, but it can get worse past that. A generation raised on this will happily put their kids in front of a screen of it, and the problem compounds. The AI/ML ethics problem isn't just a right-here-right-now problem, but one that'll have effects on all the coming generations.
