Pandora’s box, indeed.

“Academic publishing may have to accommodate a future of AI Driven manuscripts.”

https://news.yahoo.com/ai-bot-wrote-scientific-paper-125800118.html

So, soon, a large percentage of peer reviewed research will be written by AI. Hopefully, this means that scientific progress (which has already been accelerating quickly) will continue to accelerate, leading to undreamed of progress.

OR…. Is it too far of a stretch to take it one step further? All news articles, screen plays, novels, etc, will come with the standard acknowledgement that “This piece was written by AI.” Such writing will be cheap and easy to produce and driven by an algorithm to attract the maximum number of readers by playing to their predisposition to read things that reinforce their own biases. Thus, a self reinforcing whirlpool will be created, sucking the world into distopia.

Have a nice day! o_O

The end is nigh.
Although it is easy to blame young men and say that they are all losers, I suspect that (as usual) the truth is more complicated and there is plenty of blame to go around.
I must also admit that, if I was again an “un-dateable” man in my twenties (full Time fast food job, full load of Junior College classes, junk heap car, no sense of humor about my situation) this would be a tempting solution, indeed.

As I’ve said many times: “Thank goodness I am not a young person in today’s day and age.”

A fellow I knew going back 30 years or so was happily predicting a time when technology would give us virtual sex partners indistinguishable from actual living, breathing humans.

It would hardly be love-making, I offered, but rather just a more technologically sophisticated form of pornography, a fancy masturbation aid, batteries included. That appeared to make no impression on him.

I’ve read multiple sources reporting on the frequency of sexual activity among younger people. It seems that young adults aren’t getting horizontal as frequently as their parents and grandparents did at their age.

Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink?

I see a lot of these "young adults" every time I leave the house. If I were a young woman today, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to get horizontal with these dimwitted homunculi.
