Some actually think it is real. And my 95 year old grandmother plays the videos over and over again.
The love AI because they're trying to get in one last gut punch to the millennials and zoomers before they all croak.
No... older people cannot tell the difference between semi-realistic AI content and reality
Not this older person.
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
I'm 52 and think AI is garbage.
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.
Ok? Wasn't the point of the post lol
Rabbit animals?
I meant rabid lol
That autocorrect drives me rabbid as well.
That makes perfect sense in retrospect but my brain just couldn’t figure out the typo/false autocorrect 😂
I don't see why not.....rabbits are animals. That's just a fact, Jack! And fish are fish.....and bee's are knees.....wait a second......
Lmao I still have a love/hate relationship with touch screen keyboards. #LifeLongComputerNerd
Boomers who happen to gave everyone else do stuff for them, does not care that the job is done poorly as long as they dont have to think too hard.
Ew.
