I believe I got into a conversation on Lemmy where I was saying that there should be a big persistent warning banner stuck on every single AI chat app that "the following information has no relation to reality" or some other thing. The other person kept insisting it was not needed. I'm not saying it would stop all of these events, but it couldn't hurt.

People who understand the technology forget that normies don't understand the technology.

and normies think you're an asshole if you try to explain the technology to them, and cling to their ignorance of it basic it's more 'fun' to believe in magic

In the defense of normies, believing in magic is more fun. Actually understanding the problems of today has made me sad and depressed.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Totally disagree. Knowledge has never depressed me, ignorance does.

But I'm not a normie, true. Most people think I'm a freak for being interested in how things actually work.

TIL there is a whole ass mediawiki for explaining XKCD comics.

I didn't even notice that I linked explainxkcd instead of the xkcd itself.
