Yeah, my parents wouldn’t know what’s AI and what isn’t. They’re 50+. Not really a surprise, tbh. There’s a lot of people whose knowledge of tech is not there at all, sadly. But I try to explain it to them as much as possible, tho!
I may have failed to adequately explain to my mother why it is important to try to detect and avoid these things. But, Boomers gonna boomer. “Look at this youtube short of cute dogs” and its’ about five clips of a small dog barking at a large dog through a glass door, the glass door gets opened, then the little dog turns to the camera and looks pathetic. One of them is a chihuaua wearing a sombrero and a poncho.
Boomers just…are a lost cause. You can’t get them to not actively destroy the world. My father is too fucking stupid to understand the concept of voting with his wallet. He’ll buy a product, let’s say a lawnmower, that lawnmower will rapidly fail because of an obvious design flaw, and he’ll go buy the same make and model to replace it. And that’s how they behave with products purchased with significant sums of money. Getting “You have contributed to the downfall of society by sitting through the ad that played before that fake dog video” through their head is like putting a tuna fish through a rock.
