Technology

It’s ubiquitous at this point, and by its nature that means tons of people are using it themselves.

The fact that everyone is exposed to it doesn't imply it's by choice. Everyone in major cities used to be exposed to smog and other toxic shit, but most of it wasn't directly generated by them. There were a few greedy sociopaths churning it all out.

As the occasionally prophetic and always contrarian FZ put it 53 years ago:

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?

No one needs to see a t-rex giving a thumbs-up or similar.

That's what people are tired of, for sure. In the before times, the person would've chuckled at the thought and then forgotten about it. It took long enough to create an image of it, that they had time to realize that no one cares.
That barrier is now removed, so you definitely see posts online with just the dumbest brainfart turned into pixels.

Yeah, there's nothing in that article to back up this claim:

If your initial reaction to reading that and seeing that is some variation of "ughhh" or rolling your eyes or "fuck this guy" congrats. You are normal. If it wasn't I cannot stress to you enough that you are an outlier.

I suspect I (we) just surround ourselves with people that are likely to share our opinions on AI. But I keep hearing anecdotes about Facebook boomers, children, and corporate types just eating that shit up.
