This morning, I opened some "traditional" social media, which I still follow mainly to stay up to date on local information and events. I did a personal survey: out of 50 posts I saw, 35 were clearly AI-generated (even by ordinary people), some completely inaccurate and imprecise, not to mention "fake news".
Ten were almost unreadable and incomprehensible due to the level of ignorance they showed, and five were ads. Zero were status updates from people I actually know and would be interested in reading.

I wonder how people have gotten so used to all this. But, looking around and talking to people, it seems this is their new normal, and they've become accustomed to this way of writing and thinking. Fake news has become their primary source of information.

A few days ago, I saw someone writing an email in an office. I felt a glimmer of hope when I saw them doing it by hand, but then I was saddened to see the result was almost identical to an AI's: the same structure, the same tone, the same emojis.

We've become so accustomed to these artificial creations that now, even unconsciously, we are the ones emulating them.
