    And we thought boomers reading shit off Facebook was bad. Now they have AI feeding it to them.

      Google: You know those LLMs?

      Engineer: Yes, what about it?

      G: So I took one of those and I vomited diarrhea into its mouth-

      E: Wait, what?

        It seems so absurd to me this could happen. For the boomers I understand, they grew up in an offline world, but the youth? They are raised on the modern web and smartphones but are often clueless too.

        Was it the unsanitized, wild west internet era of the late 90s/early 2000s that hardened the millennials against online bullshitting?

        What generation? I’m an elder millenial and I always thought Google Video/Vimeo/Youtube was/is shit for any kind of actual informential content. Music videos, meme videos - sure. Other than that, veeerrry great amount of suss on any info presented. Same goes for 90+% of people of my generation, who know what kind of a jokepool 90’s/early 2000’s internet was.

        So what gen are you referring to?
