I noticed today that I was being recommended a YouTube video by a guy who’s only been creating content for about two years. The videos looked well done, with drone footage and appropriate music. And the algorithm had done its job; what the guy in the video was saying resonated with me very much. I’ve been posting and searching about burnout and trying to figure out what I needed to do with this next phase of my life. So as I’m watching the video, it feels a little too gimmicky and cliché to. And that’s when I realized that the guy who posted the video was AI. And I don’t just mean a guy used AI to make his YouTube videos. I found an entire persona for this guy online: Instagram, Facebook, X, IMDb. He has a couple of self published books on Amazon. But what I noticed was the only accounts that were older than just maybe since AI has come out have absolutely no activity. So I guess my question is, have we really reached this point? Have we reached the point where we go out to the Internet, which was supposed to be a great equalizer, with vast quantities of information globally accessible, and if we ask a question, we should assume just the asking of that question will be used to manipulate us? Is that where we are now? If so, what’s left? submitted by /u/0nlyhalfjewish
