I discovered today while scrolling that I can no longer tell what is real. The images, music, and “people” offering guidance in my feed are all beginning to meld together into this artificial intelligence-generated soup. We keep referring to it as a “revolution” as though it’s some sort of amazing advancement, but it seems more like we’re simply losing our sense of what it means to be human. It’s amazing how quickly we’ve come to terms with the fact that a bot can “create” art in two seconds or can build a software product easily. I believe that in exchange for convenience, we are giving up our real brains, and I doubt that this can ever be reversed. Since everything you see on the internet is essentially an algorithm communicating with another algorithm, what will happen in two years? Do we simply lose faith in our own eyes? The speed of it is terrifying, but I’m not even saying it’s all bad. Nobody asked if we genuinely wanted the update, so we’re essentially beta testing a new version of humanity. Are we genuinely looking forward to this “future” or are we all just acting as though we have no other option? submitted by /u/alazar_tesema
