What in the holy AI slop is that?

I actually took the time to read it. Just to check it out. Wow! It's kinda hilarious how bad it is. It hits right about every AI stereotype. It even references some redditor 😂

This is pure, lazy bait slop

It feels like people have gotten much worse at driving in general over the last four years. Distracted driving is a big portion of that, but I think everyone is getting dumber, less empathetic towards others and they are incapable of feeling shame now.

Every time I drive to work on the highway there’s a ton of traffic in the left lane and then there’s always some clueless idiot driving slower than the people in the middle lane holding up all the people behind them. This happens at least three times in each direction of my 30 mile commute.

People sit at the stoplights on their phones and when you honk at them a few seconds after the light turns green, they get mad at you.

Because we basically drive tanks everywhere on roads designed for incredible speed.

So basically our cars are the main culprit making the side issues worse.

From personal experience, I have had to dodge people outright walking into traffic to cross a road, ignoring all the cars and staring at their phones. This has s happened serval times in the last year for me. The worst offender was someone walking across a 10-lane highway (5 lanes each side with a grass divider) during rush hour traffic.

Can’t remember what podcast they discussed this on, but prevalence of stick shift in Europe was one of the theorized factors.

Because android is more popular in Europe?

If I'd have to venture a guess, it has much more to do with the abysmal infrastructure of the USA than with the phones, those are just a cherry on top of a horror cake
