You’re placing blame on the wrong spot. It’s algorithms and social media incentive systems not AI. Our digital media incentives addictive minimum effort chum and slop. AI just makes it easier to make.
> Human slop is slow and easy to contain and build containments around it. Generative AI is so fast that it breaks every possible containment strategy
If you think society prior to ChatGPT was any less off-the-rails than it is now, then you're suffering from recency bias. I'm willing to give you that AI certainly accelerates the slop, but it doesn't fundamentally change anything about humans being unable to regulate their consumption of slop.
I get it. I see the fire department is busy at work which means there's a fire nearby. Since things are bad, let's set the whole neighborhood on fire.
But also no, the crap AI is causing goes waay beyond algorithms and social media. It is ok to blame it.
