Young people have led makeovers of the concept of love before. But relationships with AI chatbots leave out the compromises and effort of real relationships.
I’m not so sure. Facebook was a great tool to create local communities at first.
Then it became greedy and changed the algorithm for ads and being attention driven. If you remove facebook (which I don’t use since months), it’s harder to find what’s new around you, and get out to cool events. Especially on the countryside.
That’s precisely why it was a mistake. People did those things before Facebook, but now? So many people have no clue how to exist without it, and all the while, it’s weaponized against people’s ignorance by bad actors who are greedy for power and money.
Hell, we’ve had to create decentralized tools just to get some of our agency back. And yet, even knowing that their data is fodder for those same bad actors, people still flock to those previous systems like Facebook, TikTok, Xitter, and Instagram.
Social media isn’t a mistake because social media is inherently bad. It’s a mistake, because humans in general are too stupid to protect themselves.
No, people didn’t do such things before, I disagree. People got out, of course, but it had greatly increased market view for events, because random people around could get the information.
Before that, it was just displays on the walls, local newspapers, etc, but the potential viewers are way less.
Bruh, technology is causing the void. People are increasingly using technology to replace human interaction, rather than to cultivate it.
Social media was a mistake.
And yes, I’m aware of the irony as I use social media to say so. I do not apologize.
If it weren’t for social media, humanity would find another technology to lie and manipulate people for money and power.
Money and Power are what corrupts, not technology

Turns out unfettered greed turns everything it touches to shit.
Also, humans in general are dumb. But moreso your thing.
You can choose to leave
Very astute observation. Bravo.
