I’ve noticed a stark increase in videos about AI, and articles about AI, over the past few weeks. As though a switch has been flipped. I don’t understand what’s happening.

I’ve been having a growing sense of unease lately about what’s going on in the world. I feel like we’re in the offing of a huge change that I don’t fully understand. I’m not sure where to go with this, so I’m just going to bullet point my observations, and my confusion.<br><br>I’ve been seeing way more articles and videos about AI than I used to, and it seems like the volume of this content, including the traditional media, is sharply increasing. Why? AI is not a new technology. Is it a switch that’s been flipped? It seems like it. <br><br>Recently I was on Netflix, and there were about 15 recommendations for me - all of them were about AI. Why would this be the case? I’m not interested, nor have I ever expressed any interest in this topic. I don’t get it. <br><br>I feel like I’m being conditioned to accept AI en masse, but why? Is this a societal shift? Is everyone supposed to get familiar with AI, andChatGPT, and accept the inevitable takeover of humanity by the machines? <br><br>All of this is being done under the guise of ‘progress’ I believe, but I don’t want AI in my daily life. I don’t want to have AI assistants, or communicate with customer service AI’s. I don’t want to live in a world like this. I want humans. <br><br>I guess I just want to know what’s going on. It doesn’t feel right.
