You need to understand that the AI algorithms on social media manipulate people. As someone interacts with a one thing, the AI sends more of that same kind of information their way. The AI is built to send you info that will keep you on there more. Then that makes the person think that information is what really is true. Its insidious. People have never had to try and work against a machine like this, so yes I dont blame them. I dont think most people are equipped to deal with it because we just never had to. Which is why I dont let my kids on social media (even though their friends are on it). My husband works in AI and wants them nowhere near it either. --- AC - Violet on Penny.
