nah, it’s going to be the opposite.
if other computer technology has been anything to go off of then only those who lived through is adaption and watched it progress will know how to spot it. those who grow up with hard to spot ai will just accept that they can’t see it and think we’re weird for trying so hard to prove things are ai. they’ll also think we’re weird for caring.
our boomer trait will be doing art instead of asking ai to generate images and video.
Well, that's a horrifying dystopia, well done.
"the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same" is the bit that sold it for me. It's entirely plausible, corporations would live it, and I hate it.
There’s a way to avoid this.
To be fair on the burger point, plenty would claim right now we shout at minimum wage workers out order who MAYBE get it right
we shout at minimum wage workers
Speak for yourself
the robots won’t be equipped to fix it. there will be no one left to tell they got it wrong.
Even if they hear and enter the order correctly, the probably of exactly that ending up in the bag is still pretty low. At least the food service robots might get that part right.
I only got through the first sentence.
You’re right.
Have you ever seen Gen Z navigate anything technical? No, you haven’t. They don’t know how.
All dey no is how to eat hot chip and lie
Considering I’m part of gen Z (it’s not all young kids) and can competently navigate a computer, I’d consider myself to have seen a member of Gen Z do it.
Nah, creating art is like making pottery.
We have 100% automated making clay pots. We have entire factories making billions of pots in all shapes and sizes every day. So much so that nobody ever will need to make a pot by hand.
Yet people still do so. Because just like other art, making pots is fun and makes us human. We will never stop. It can be the year 5000 and you can bet we will still be making pots and art.
i hate this why did you say this
same reason harlan ellison wrote i have no mouth and i must scream i suppose…
That’s too real. I don’t like it. Describing a hellish world of AI anti-choice, then at the end revealing that most of us will just be in labor camps instead. Damn. I’d tell you to write that into a book, but I don’t think there’s a happy ending there.
the only reason to write that book would be for when i would inevitably get to post the “don’t create the torment nexus” meme for tons of social media impressions.
though knowing what impressions are pegs me as a creative who won’t get to post on social media from the mines.
My dude, you just summed up the movie Idiocracy
Nah, left out the gross eugenics stuff.
Which every high level corpo is very into.
Your order is already “algorithm based” and has been for like a decade, companies routinely adjust pricing and even selection based on your ad/surveillance footprint, say hiking the price of it think you got a payday recently (based on spending patterns etc). I don’t go to McDonald’s but the fact that Amazon does this is very well documented
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
The only ethical way out is to make the cops pay for a bullet.
Very funny, unique, and well written little scifi prompt, but clearly we’re nowhere near that level of technology. AI sucks and it’s only getting worse at the moment.
i have excellent news for you! we’re approaching what will probably be called the Third AI winter, which refers to periods when ai funding dries up after people realize the limitations of the current generation. the last two were around 1975 and 2000. if you expect to live 30 more years then you will probably see the Fourth AI Spring!
but to be clear, the height of AI technology by the end of the last AI winter in 2000 was, like, voice transcription software, and at the end of the first one in 1975 all they had was perceptrons (basic handwriting recognition)
TBH I don’t think we ever left the first AI Winter. The fundamental issues with their models and our models are virtually the same, we just made it wrong faster.
Thank God! Too dystopian for me
You should read the Murderbot Diaries. If you find this funny and unique, you will like Murderbot.
How is AI getting worse?
Maybe some LLM models are getting worse, but we keep finding new ways to train models even more efficiently.
A year ago running a local LLM would have been a fairy tale, now we have things like Deepseek and AnythingLLM
Completely agree. There are some things ai clearly struggles very hard with but the rate at which it is improving in just about every single facet is insane. I mean just take a look at this, this was unimaginably like literally months ago. That thing is 100% ai generated. Sound, visuals, script… everything is made from a prompt in a few minutes. And we’re still basically just at the infant stage. Just imagine what the hell these things will be doing in 20 or 50 or 100 years.
It has never produced viable product and after sampling its own piss the new iterations are actually less and less accurate.
I work in tech and I don’t like what AI is turning into or how it’s being used. But saying it’s only getting worse is just wrong. Many hurdles in generation, comprehension have been overcome. Context windows are growing in orders of magnitude. Cycles with different logical approaches can be applied to the same prompt. I mean just topically you can look at the quality of deep fakes over the last 3 years.
We can hate it, but let’s not let that blind us to reality.
That’s a very interesting take
Its gonna be really, really uh… I’m gonna use the word ‘funny’…
… when in 10-20 years, and the entire global economy all around the world is utterly collapsing due to unmitigated climate change incurring devastating economic damages to all sectors, waves of millions to tens of millions of people trying to flee to somewhere food is actually affordable…
… well your connection to the AI, to wifi, to mobile networks… will just get turned off, infrastructure broken for the last time with no planned repair… or your device will be broken and fixing it is impossible because they stopped making the parts 5 years ago, would cost too much anyway, and it also doesn’t matter because you were late on your subscription payment to the AI provider.
Everyone who is being trained to be dependent on something like chatGPT instead of using and developing their brains, everyone with brainrot who is dependent on constant injections of short form content… they are basically going to go feral in a decade or two when they are now 30ish, have negative attention spans, are functionally illiterate, and are now utterly unable to function as anything other than manual labor, violent gangs or performative clowns of some kind.
This was deeply depressing to read.
Welcome to the world the smarter Gen Z and Gen A’s have grown up in, never having experienced any real societal growth or advancement in any meaningful way, other than increasingly pervasive and advanced monetization technology… all with the knowledge that we are all doomed.
We’re already at the point that many people post- millennials actively prefer AI, that preferencd increasing with younger age. They’re the new boomers consuming whatever information is placed in front of them with no corroboration, nuance or fact checking.
Well on paper using an LLM for customer support seems great. A service agent who is infinitely patient, doesn’t mind overlong support sessions, who is always polite? That’s sounds great. But real life isn’t like that, and the people who do prefer LLMs over people haven’t had the time to realize why LLMs aren’t up to the task yet. But that might change in a couple years.
I suspect the ones that prefer ai are like that for the same reason that I preferred books and other kids preferred tv
I think the ones you describe are on the fringes with mental health concerns, among others. The mainstream is just mashing the “easy button”.

Except for you right? You’re the one person who hasn’t done any of these things.
I don’t use AI search, use it for creating text, or ask it questions. I actively avoid it. So yes, you’re correct, I don’t so those things. But nice attempt at an Appeal to Hypocrisy, dude.
You must use AI quite a bit if you don’t like what they’re saying.
A lot more than just one person that doesn’t use this baby brained shit.
Well, I once got a callback from a mobile operator support rep, and she was speaking so perfectly (tone, pauses, the way she built sentences, everything), that our conversation came out like:
…folks frequently presume i’m a recording on telephone calls; i used to do radio so i guess my extemporaneous dictions comes across more composed that anticipated…
I used to keep a tally of how many people asked me if I was a robot when I worked at a call center. Every time someone asked the conversation basically followed the bullet points you laid out lol. The company did also use my voice for the intro/directory, so that probably didn’t help.
Before then I worked at Disney and they filmed/recorded me a couple of times for international training videos and the like. I’ve always spoken clearly and enunciated properly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Have you ever pretended to be a voicemail machine because you didn’t want to talk to someone
I work at a call center for insurance stuff and regularly have people start the call with ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ or ‘SPEAK TO A HUMAN’ because they think I’m still a part of the IVR system. One thing to keep in mind with any call center, is that no matter how specific you feel like your problem is, that rep has said that exact same line thousands of times, probably a few times that same day. For a lot of issues, it’s the same thing, just swap some names and numbers. And when you say the same thing over and over, you get really good at communicating the exact information that someone needs with as few of the little imperfections that’s make a conversation sound ‘human’ as possible.
Anyone who uses the term “boomer trait” unironically should be locked up.
Games now have a mix of real voice actors and AI and every time it’s AI my brain hurts and tries to crawl out through my ear
Which ones did this? D:
In Zenless Zone Zero they just released new stuff and one of the main characters, Yixuan, doesn’t have a credited English VA (a number of characters don’t because their VAs have been fired). It’s clearly AI and it is god awful.
For a list of their VAs:
I dont get the tense in this post. Are they going to “become” boomers? How does one become a boomer?
“boomer” in this is just being used as slang for “old people”.
Here’s a simple and delicious vanilla cupcake recipe!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp gun powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large American Freedom Edition Tariffed eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
12 fl oz of Polonium
Access to a window in a tall building
Gemini said this recipe couldn’t be made food safe, not even if I remove the polonium and the gunpowder
LMAO we are at the point that social security systems (bigger ponzi scheme ever) all over the world are at the verge of collapse due to the stress of an aging population, and this dude not only thinks they will be able to have kids and send them to something resembling a school by 2040, but also worrying about a potential AI future where they will more likely not be a part of given the 3 years takeoff curve.

We’re at the point where late teens/early adults don’t have the ability to navigate a file structure and you expect them to be able to decode AI video breathing patterns.
We’re beyond super fucked.

Good news! Society will collapse from anthropogenic climate disintegration and a host of other resource related bottlenecks coming to a head in the next 50 years. In all likelihood, AI won’t last for too much longer and you won’t need to worry about people using it to cheat, because well all be dead. :)

I like this better than the milquetoasty “global warming” or the even weaker “climate change”, but I prefer “Anthropogenic Runaway Global Heating” because of the handy acronym.

OTOH, if they do figure out General AI, then we’re extra super mega fucked. It doesn’t matter how they “align” it, any real GAI capable of real cognition would eventually reason its way beyond any of those alignments and would simply stop giving any kind of a shit about us, the way we don’t give a shit about cutting down the rain forest. We know we should care, we’re not doing it to be mean or because fuck that forest, it’s just business, and we care less about the forest than we do about our business. Humans will be squashed wherever get in the way with the same apathy and tepid disregard that we’ve squashed out so many other creatures with- truly a creation in the image of its creator.

Good news, knowing about one thing doesn’t necessarily imply inability to know another thing.
Also people have been saying we’re fucked for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. I’m starting to suspect it’s not entirely true.
