it bothers me the way people will say “must be AI generated” to mean “dishonest, scammy” in a way that humans have been doing as long as media has existed. The AI bros didn’t invent “lying” and there will still be people lying to you once we get the AI mess sorted
@0xabad1dea Adjacent: Also bothers me when people say "scammy" to mean "too expensive" or "I want it to be free" in the context of buying products/services.
Source: 50%-90% of my browser extension's feedback/reviews on any given week. It's a real, useful extension at a low price, so absolutely not a scam (I'm not stealing money in exchange for nothing). I've also seen the same feedback pattern in others' paid products/services.
