There was a right wing meme during peak woke that wokeness was a new evolutionary filter mechanism, i.e. it stops you reproducing and so will eventually die out (maybe aside from woke elites).

I can’t help but feel that the new ‘left wing’ oppositions to AI might have a similar thing going on? Maybe I’m biased, but right wing critiques of AI seem to have a little bit more depth to them at the moment?

Super spot on and we would argue it has already erupted, heavily, in certain corners of the internet (e.g. Leaflit, a VTuber, getting death threats, waves of hate, doxxed, all for... releasing an AI-driven tool that facilitates PNGTubing).

That’s what happened with video on the internet, why not essays?

This has been my fav format so far. Very “in the times” with whole AI writing moral panic

With only a single modification: one merciful, arbitrary paragraph break in the precise middle of the text slab.
