nah, it's going to be the opposite.

if other computer technology has been anything to go off of then only those who lived through is adaption and watched it progress will know how to spot it. those who grow up with hard to spot ai will just accept that they can't see it and think we're weird for trying so hard to prove things are ai. they'll also think we're weird for caring.

our boomer trait will be doing art instead of asking ai to generate images and video, or wanting things made by people when the ai generated thing is "good enough".

we'll be getting eyerolls for gifting a nice art set or a camera to our niblings. we'll embarrass our grandkids when we get upset at the ai point of sale system that mcdonalds starts using. "back in my day they had big touch screens where you could manually select your toppings on the burger, now you just yell into a box and MAYBE gets it right"

actually, if social media tech is anything to go on we won't even have that much control. your order will be algorithm based. chosen for you based on your recent ad footprint. the ai obviously knows what you want better than you do. the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same, but we're going to hate it. the corps will push it anyway because it's so massively profitable with the demographics that like it and every restaurant will be owned by like 2 companies. they'll just force it on everyone else. we'll bitch about it, but most people will still keep going.

edit: had more thoughts on this in the shower.

we'll get to the point where we barely even have to pick a place to eat. there will be 2 apps. one owned by disneycokemcdonsldsalibaba, one owned by pepsifoxraytheonamazon. we will all be either a coke person or a Pepsi person and will likely just follow whichever brand our parents did. they'll be inherently political and each have a sponsored candidate in every election. it will define the entire world you live in. when it's time to eat you get a notification and the app orders you your meal.

it'll start as a service for when you can't decide what to eat then after it gets a critical mass of users it will start to enshitify into forcing what you eat before selling to the disney megacorp who will then push it into everything they own.

this is only for the rich people that these brands cater towards of course. we who would have once been creatives will be working manual labor at the camps for the underemployed. afterall, we're better off with the structure. it helps us be productive towards society. it's what's best for us....

Your order is already "algorithm based" and has been for like a decade, companies routinely adjust pricing and even selection based on your ad/surveillance footprint, say hiking the price of it think you got a payday recently (based on spending patterns etc). Idk about McDonald's (though I wouldn't be surprised) but the fact that Amazon does this is very well documented

[–] notabot@piefed.social 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, that's a horrifying dystopia, well done.

"the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same" is the bit that sold it for me. It's entirely plausible, corporations would live it, and I hate it.

There's a way to avoid this.

Nah, creating art is like making pottery.

We have 100% automated making clay pots. We have entire factories making billions of pots in all shapes and sizes every day. So much so that nobody ever will need to make a pot by hand.

Yet people still do so. Because just like other art, making pots is fun and makes us human. We will never stop. It can be the year 5000 and you can bet we will still be making pots and art.

To be fair on the burger point, plenty would claim right now we shout at minimum wage workers our order who MAYBE get it right

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

we shout at minimum wage workers

Speak for yourself

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

'Tis the difficulty of language, the intention was to refer to as the societal "we", of which I play no part.

Fuck people who shout at people trying to provide them a service.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Even if they hear and enter the order correctly, the probably of exactly that ending up in the bag is still pretty low. At least the food service robots might get that part right.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

the robots won't be equipped to fix it. there will be no one left to tell they got it wrong.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I only got through the first sentence.

You're right.

Have you ever seen Gen Z navigate anything technical? No, you haven't. They don't know how.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Considering I'm part of gen Z (it's not all young kids) and can competently navigate a computer, I'd consider myself to have seen a member of Gen Z do it.

However, it's true that there's lot of people in Gen Z who can't navigate a computer well, since it's not really needed anymore. Many people can do everything they want on a phone, and only need computers for certain things.

All dey no is how to eat hot chip and lie

[–] anti_antidote@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hey, some of us are competent.

[–] Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I would say about the same share as previous generations. Old farts just just like to complain.

edit: its like they forget what its like to be young

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I definitely agree, I shouldn't have generalized it like that. I just think it's a case where we were just more exposed to it growing up than y'all were.

[–] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's too real. I don't like it. Describing a hellish world of AI anti-choice, then at the end revealing that most of us will just be in labor camps instead. Damn. I'd tell you to write that into a book, but I don't think there's a happy ending there.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

the only reason to write that book would be for when i would inevitably get to post the "don't create the torment nexus" meme for tons of social media impressions.

though knowing what impressions are pegs me as a creative who won't get to post on social media from the mines.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dude, you just summed up the movie Idiocracy

Nah, left out the gross eugenics stuff.

Which every high level corpo is very into.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i hate this why did you say this

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

same reason harlan ellison wrote i have no mouth and i must scream i suppose...
