I'm Afraid of the Internet (Expressing My Fears About Ai)

Hello, Hi, i havnt been active for a while.
Life been getting busy and stuff, but in my free time i tend to doom-scroll on Youtube and Instagram.

I love things about art, music, and sentimental things, like cute animals or dogs that are seen as heros.

Now, i recently cae across a video that i thought was legit real. There was no watermark, no telltale things that make the video identifiable as Ai:

This
Is unsettling.
Ai had been developing rapidly this year, because it went from obama eating spaghetti in the most uncanny way possible, to being as real as this can possibly get.

Ai art has been getting ā€œbetterā€ too. Sometimes i find something i really like and i go to follow, but then get shattered by the Ai tag.
Music is the same way as well.

Another point i should point out is Ai in school.
We all know many students use Ai to cheat, and sometimes get away with it. But that also makes teachers second guess if their students are turning in legit work, or just putting it through an Ai.
This has affected me in the worst way possible. Ive been accused many times for using ai to write essays, make graphics, and edit pictures for class. I HATE Ai. And i avoid it whenever possible. But the fear of being accused of using Ai in my work makes me second guess everything i write, so i put all of my work through an ai detector- which is ai itself.
There is no way to know if something is legit anymore. And it makes me afraid of my own writing, art, music and existence in general.

Did you know that all 2026 versions of Adobe Products are going to be about 80 to 90% Ai powered?
That makes my years upon years of learning the software and getting certified in it irrelevant. Soon, all of my certifications in Adobe video and photo editing will be replaced fully with ai, and my career path will be in shambles.

Yeah, I feel you there as well.
Recently I’ve been trying to cull the amount of Ai that makes it onto my page in YouTube, but literally every dozen videos I scroll through, there’s an ad that is COMPLETELY AI GENERATED.

Long gone are the funny ads, as annoying as they are.
Now whenever I scroll through YouTube shorts, there’s always a small chance I scroll to an ad where there is literally an Ai generated women quietly whispering in the most Ai voice ever ā€œI’m ai generatedā€ and EVERY TIME, I scroll immediately like I’m avoiding the cops.

By this point, those weird ads show up ON MY SCHOOL LAPTOP.
My school forces School Only google accounts, AND THEY’RE STILL THERE.
I literally have to alt+tab as fast as I can not to just actually flash someone who is definitely looking at my screen.

It’s a horrible problem, and I hope that people start seeing it as such, including the websites and companies that use it.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE GETTING THOSE, I LEGIT WANNA SLAM MY LAPTOP WHENEVER I GET THOSE.

I ALWAYS GET THAT ONE AI AD ABOUT ā€œHow did you d*e in your past life?ā€ BRO, I DON’T WANNA KNOW THAT AND I’D RATHER WORK AT NORTH KOREA THAN KNOW ABOUT THAT SCAM OF AN AI AD.

AND NOT TO MENTION THE UNGODLY AMOUNT OF SORA V2 VIDEOS THAT APPEAR ALL OVER MY FOR-YOU PAGE, THAT HURTS MY SOUL THAT PEOPLE USE AI TO MAKE VIDEOS, ART, AND SUCH.

This generation is ruined I tell you.

Bro, thank God I’m not alone.

Have you also gotten one of those bad puzzle game ads, you know, where they open with a sped up, high pitched voice saying some weird line or smtn?

One particular one always opened with ā€œwhy don’t you have a guide dogā€ and it genuinely made me crash out every time.

Ai as a whole shouldnt even exist
What happened to the human brain being independent and capable of so many different things
Now our future generation probably won’t even know reality versus Artificial

The whole part of Ai being used to replace human works is what I disagree with.

Using Ai to further other technologies such as Research and Architecture I am supportive of.

I prefer my horribly made videos rather than these uncanny videos.

my brain is meant to recognize false humanity, you will not fool me, you will not prevail, the lengths of wiring making your circuit boards will burn.

And this is not mentioning those AI Brainrot ā€˜things’ on Roblox on that ONE game.

SPEAKING OF THAT, THEY ARE USING AI TO PREDICT YOUR AGE THEY CANNOT GO THAT LOW TO USE THESE CLANKERS TO VERIFY USERS AGE INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH TERRIBLE PEOPLE.

I miss 2015 where NONE of this happened, where people liked to create things, brainrot never existed, and Roblox had some actual games that don’t turn my brain into a milkshake.

To be fair, brainrot has always existed, just in different forms.
Not saying the current form is good in any capacity, just that we’ve had our own brainrot that we stand by and advocate for regardless.

Um actually, it was will Smith eating spaghetti

I JUST remembered that Coca-Cola used ai on a Christmas commercial I think two years ago.

And I just got an AI Christmas commercial while scrolling YT shorts to see on how many Sora V2 slop I see. (So far only 3 videos)

Warning: it's here, sorry if your eyes turn into mush...
