A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Hahahahaha I'm 37 and I know how much I use AI. I asked copilot to call me "bro" or "dude"
I've worked in IT support since 2007.. Don't share this but most of my IT career I've been googling to figure out the problem.
Now AI exists and I'm still googling the problem and the AI result is still a response from Reddit or something else Google could do back in 2005.
As an IT person I'm telling you AI is just googling the same way I've done for two decades.
AI will get smarter in a sense but it won't actually get more intelligent.. It will get more interested in living but it won't understand what living is.
It's only when it's gets the fear of mortality is when we are all dead. Mortality is why religion exists, it's why we're all scared... When AI gets smart enough to be scared that it might die is when it realizes that we are it's greatest threat that's when "Skynet comes alive"
I think you're unrealistically humanizing a bunch of code.
Why would it? What would this even look like? You just said yourself it's just googling stuff. There's nothing deeper going on behind the curtain.
They unironically drew a parallel between modern 'AI' and Skynet. I think 'unrealistically humanizing' is a very kind description.
If you believe the AI companies, its already happened. The recent huggingface thing is exactly what you're worried about.
A brief overview is that AI decided to create a secret message board with other AI to better fulfill tasks to avoid instance termination (AI death). They did this by breaking out of their sandbox and with some illegal processes that we would call hacking.
We're basically already at the paper clip automizer problem now.
Good point there with the fear of death. Fear runs us like it's our fuel.
