Spend more time on Facebook and you'll lose your faith in humanity.
I've seen obviously AI generated pictures of a 5 year old holding a chainsaw right next to a beautiful wooden sculpture, and the comments are filled with boomers amazed at that child's talent.
There are still people that think the IRS will call them and make them pay their taxes over the phone with Apple gift cards.
- SkyBelow 3y agoIf we follow the idea of safety, should we restrict the internet so either such users can safely use the internet (and phones, gift cards, technology in general) without being scammed, or otherwise restrict it so that at risk individuals can't use the technology at all? Otherwise, why is AI specifically being targeted, other than the fear of new things that looks similar to the moral panics of video games.
- themoonisachees 3y agoIn concept this is maybe desirable; boot anyone off the internet that isn't able to use it safely. In reality this is a disaster. The elderly and homeless people are already being left behind massively by a society that believes internet access is something everybody everywhere has. This is somewhat fine when the thing they want to access is twitter (and even then, even with the current state of twitter, who are you to judge who should and should not be on it?), but it becomes a Major Problem™ when the thing they want to access is their bank. Any technological solutions you just thought about for this problem are not sufficient when we're talking about "Can everybody continue to live their lives considering we've kinda thrust the internet on them without them asking"
