A.I. Slop - Beyond the Black Void

The fellas at Red Letter Media like to talk about not just movies, but current trends as well. And there's nothing more distressing as the rapid rise of A.I. - not the A.I. that saves lives, but the A.I. that ruins them. Especially careers in art, entertainment, graphic design, advertising, and so on. The RLM Boys put on their worn-out, dusty thinking caps and try to get a handle on this living nightmare world we are now officially entering. Mike begins the discussion by pointing out that when people of the past looked towards the future they saw a world filled with convenience. The creators of the Jetsons saw a future where George Jetson's flying car folded up into his briefcase, but didn't realize that he would probably be working from home. Or not have a job at all because all the automation around him could do it. His wife Judy would not be using cash to go to the shopping center and could shop online. And that his boy Elroy and daughter Judy would not have to physically go to school and could learn online via zoom. And the whole flying car ride to school, Elroy would be on his tablet or switch and Judy would be on Insta, texting, or sending n*des to scam artists in Nigeria to later be doxxed and threatened to send crypto or else they'd leak all her photos. Ah, simpler times. And that's before we get to A.I.!!! This is a topic that's far reaching and moving super fast. And we don't exactly know where it's heading. The one thing I do know for sure is that the MAJORITY of Human beings are not very smart, can easily be fooled, and generally are lazy and like convenience. A.I. is more dangerous that the fictional Skynet. I'd take that world over the current one any day! From funny videos, to fake-looking ones, to ultra realistic videos that look so real we start to question when a real video is, in fact, actually real. People will start to distrust our governments. Distrust the news. And even the people around them. But people need to work. When no one is working, people starve and there is social chaos. This is not looking good, kids. But there is one truth in this universe you can count on. You can always know that whatever happens - middle aged men in a Wisconsin warehouse will be watching and laughing at old B-Movies until the bots come for them at last.
