Fuck AI

Way before chatgpt, i had a good friend who was kind of behind. He was pretty much the only person i knew without a smartphone. Non of my friend group had social media, so it's not like it mattered much. We would talk for hours about movies and books we read. We talked about hidden meanings behind movies, if we couldn't remember what actors were in a movie, we just discussed it and talked about it and maybe eventually we figured it out. Or not.

One day, he got a new iphone and that was basically when we stopped hanging out. He became terminally online, and we couldn't have a conversation anymore. Every conversation i tried to have with him was just him googling the answer. What do you think about that movie? I'll ask imdb if the movie is good. It was more like talking to google itself than an actual person.

I think that's what the future is gonna be like. Everyone you talk to may just ask chatgpt for the "right" answer or the "best" thing to say. It's already happening on dating platforms, where a lot of women i see just have the same generic AI introduction and say that they ask chatgpt for advice. That coupled with the fakest, AI enhanced, filter filled pictures, who are you even talking to? Not a real person it seems.
