I'm reminded of "Johnny Mnemonic," the 1995 movie. From IMDB:

In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerative effect called "nerve attenuation syndrome" or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS.

It seems to me that AI is the real "virtual internet" here.
Although rather unrelated to the topic at hand, I also liked this quote:

... [Henry] Rollins, who is uninterested in science fiction, joined the cast because he liked the film's focus on an upcoming disadvantaged underclass.

You can’t see the same kind of propaganda your grandparents were saying about computers just for ai now?

Besides, why are colleges passing illiterate students? That’s the actual problem.

Studies show that using a bulldozer for plowing a field decreases the farmers muscle density after just one day of use.

Christ. What a load of shit.

Well, when I communicate with the AI for more than two to five minutes, I almost always find myself something like in a picture, if someone didn't understand, it's a character from the idiocracy movie.

I've been using ChatGPT since it came out and yet my brain isn't nearly fried enough to fall for clickbait headlines this obvious.
