We now have online casinos with corrupt backdoor ties to the Trump family letting people bet on the actions of the Trump family. It's not insider trading anymore. It's just the house's cut (infosec.pub)

If there's one benefit to the rise of AI slop, it'll be pushing people away from mass social media and back to IRL meetups where you can mostly guarantee you're talking to a real person.

It might be in your circle but I guarantee you people like my boomer parents (who are still on Twitter by the way) would not notice this at all. They might even respond.

They don't need to notice to change. Unpleasant or uninteresting experiences can lead to them frequenting these places less until they just don't anymore. A big part of subscription services' profit comes from these changes being made so unconsciously that people forget to cancel.

I'm not a boomer or stranger to technology and i don't notice most modern AI creations, unless really looking for the telltale signs in the almost invisible details and even those are getting harder to spot.

Random ass tweet or picture doesn't deserve that time and attention to look for those details to determine whatever it's AI or man made, it's still data garbage.

As an autistic individual living in a rural middle of nowhere village with no access to transportation to leave and actually go do things of my interest and meet people outside of this regressive MAGA infested cesspool, I fail to see the benefits

You also fail to see that your experience is not universal.

I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that, while some may benefit from this, others, such as myself, are being negatively affected and isolated because of it
