    No… older people cannot tell the difference between semi-realistic AI content and reality

    It’s pretty sad that some people are so lonely even AI feels like companionship. The issue isn’t that these older people are undiscerning and easily pleased, it’s that they’re desperately lonely.

    I work with a coworker who is almost 50. She thinks AI is the bee’s knees. Believes it 100% of the time (tried arguing with me about vaccines and rabbit animals, which I would say I’m fairly educated about). The other day she told me she uploads all her medical stuff from the doctor (MRI, Xrays, ect) so AI can translate it for her.

    I can’t wait for the AI boom to explode

      Technically only a HIPAA violation of the doctor uploads stuff. Uploading your is stuff is just violating your own privacy, which at this point might just be a boomer national pass time.
