My thoughts exactly. I know two folks who are going all in with AI and haven't even considered any controversy. Feels like they live on another planet. Hell, one of the guys was even showing off his pervert glasses and when I called them pervert glasses he laughed and said he hadn't heard that before.

I really hope those folks are in the minority.

    Dang. Their online filter bubble must be strong. Likely the kind of person who also doesn't care about surveillance capitalism because "it'll recommend good things to buy."

    Quite right! When they email me for advice it's often AI generated, too. I always come across as the insane person telling them not to trust AI (why even ask me for advice if you're just going to vibe coded your site anyway...)
