Speak for yourself dawg, you sound miserable. Were not all that way

Why such a hostile response to someone who cares about presenting themselves in a way they see fit? Your image is very important and it's logical that they want to control theirs.

The whole AI discussion reminds me of David Graeber's "bullshit jobs" book. If the content doesn't matter, why not have an AI generate something polite and meaningless? Why not save effort managing your inbox full of meaningless emails by having the AI summarize them? It might lose some of the details, but they didn't matter. And so more and more of the white collar world gets replaced by AI .. until it actually disrupts away all the bullshit jobs entirely.

If the content doesn’t matter, why do anything to it?

It amuses me how everyone always thinks someone else has the "bullshit job."

You have to look at it holistically.

This is the current modern Human:

1. Born into the beast, enters social media by 5-7 years old

2. All math and writing is done for you (becoming illiterate)

3. You don't have to spell ever again (becoming illiterate)

4. You cultivate a virtual persona since childhood (becoming vain)

5. Did your life really happen if it wasn't posted online (the digital existentialist crisis -- do you even exist if you aren't part of the hive?)

Then add more shit to this like, I dunno, no jobs, swipe left and right to find your soul mate ...

Yeah and then you finally get ... you and me, the whole fuck it, I don't care anymore.

Feeding apathy with AI will not end well, we have to care. Look at our kids today, we screwed them.

The old human:

1. Born into plague 2. Never learns maths or writing 3. Nor spelling 4. Half the time your life ends before childhood does 5. Nothing happens in your life

> swipe left and right to find your soul mate ...

> Women only like 4% of the men they see on the app.

> Men like more than 60% of the women they see on the app.

this ends with 20 women with the same soul mate and 19 men without any. you need to add

> no kids, no grandkids

to your litany.

My work is running a business where I sell my time and skills.

If I don’t bring my identity, I don’t make sales. My business is an extension of who I am (and my decades of experience).

My identity helps customers understand that. It’s part of a brand story.

I was with you until you mentioned “brand”. You don’t need your identity to be a “brand”. Even more, it tends to be detrimental, because “story” implies inauthenticity.

Uh sounds like you need therapy, not an AI personality makeover
