    Right wing and Boomers love AI because it gives them the means to manufacture the reality they think they live in, because the reality they actually live in is so privileged for them that they cant stand it because it invalidates every bullshit claim of victimhood they make.

    Feel like there should be another layer below the feed showing that it’s also boomers who consume the Facebook feed.

    But for really my uncle and dad are both lost to it. If you point out one item is AI they will accept it, but they will then go back to assuming everything is real immediately after.

    I have a theory based on the behaviour of North Korean soldiers on the Russian front. Supposedly they were isolating themselves and watching porn 24/7 because they never had access to smut before. So maybe these boomers are just catching up because they missed it all their lives? It’s not a perfect theory, but I just like bringing up these soldiers every chance I get.
