Dead Internet Theory and AI is an interesting potential rabbit hole. Highly recommend starting here if you want to dive in.

Pretty great recap of the different ways that AI is ruining everything.

Watched this last week and I think everyone should watch it. left me thinking about the new world in a new way, and really articulated well the reason why AI enthusiasm leaves me feeling hollow and nervous.
This person also has a video about how to make a good salad, which I recommend just as highly.

i focus a lot on ethics and technology in my studies, so AI has been a huge discussion topic in my life lately lol. i took a course where the professor's entire thesis was that AI could bring about the next Industrial Revolution and we must act now. I think AI is super fascinating and could potentially be the next frontier and the invention that might move humanity forward (the last big invention was the iPhone over a decade ago and we haven't really had any disrupting technologies since then). a lot of public facing applications of AI are basically still in their infancy and are extremely error prone. at the same time, AI does seem to be a bit of a buzz word term that gets thrown around by people don't understand it super well (example: people saying 'an AI' when talking about ChatGPT lol) and it can be frustrating to discuss (as someone who studies tech, whenever I mention my major ppl ask about AI lmao).
I agree with you that we should not be afraid of AI or its introduction into society and instead focus on its application. AI is human made and cannot function without a human (we should only be worried if AI starts to make its own decisions or develop its own language whenever I think of introducing AI into society I think of that quote that's like computers should never make management decisions because computers cannot be held accountable.
I like philosophical ramblings about whether AI can ever be sentient, if humans are playing God, etc, and witnessing the development of AI right before my eyes has made me interested in more scifi novels and movies lol.
I really like Yale professor Luciano Floridi. He deals with the ethics of information and talks a lot about AI and its applications. He has a ton of papers and talks and goes on a lot of podcasts.

😃I turned 25 a few weeks ago and with it has come a sense of urgency to do everything I want to accomplish immediately. I also miss who I used to be before I really had to get a grip of my life. By “get a grip” I mean the years before my father was first diagnosed with cancer, before I cared (more) about societal expectations of being feminine and more about my interests, and I miss most of all the sense of having it all figured out. I was cringe and free! Then I turned 14 and my life took a hard left and stayed that way for the past 11 years. My dad died traumatically. I lost my faith and left the religion I grew up in. My mom and I had a falling out and we were mutually disowned by my dad’s family.
It wasn’t all doom and gloom. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree, the first in my family.
During it all though, I feel like I’ve lost myself. My grief is overwhelmingly the main theme of my life. I know many people are familiar with the feeling.
