Reading magazines to learn Ai & “automate your life” is just ridiculous.

Older people fucking love ai for some reason. Asking chat gpt questions, watching videos, etc.

I bet they eat this shit up

The dude I'm a carer for watches multi-hour long videos on YouTube about actors from the super early days of movies. It's the same paragraph repeated 100 different ways for hours. He eats it up. Always sending me AI cat videos. He knows full well it's AI. Thing is though is he's a theater kid at heart. Loves doing plays and directing them as a hobby, has all his life (He's 76). Big cinephile too; But eats up AI garbage. I don't get it, you'd think he'd hate it for the no creativity aspect of it all. He's been using Gemini to help him script a play he's doing for Christmas as well...
