From Years and Years to Black Mirror: the best TV prophecies for how AI will end us all

[War of the Rainbow]

AI is getting super creepy . I mean, imagine living in a world where you can't even trust what's real anymore. Like, think about it, fake news, deepfakes, AI-generated videos... it's like, what's the difference between reality and fiction?

I was watching this show "The Capture" and it really made me think. They had this character who created a fake version of herself that was almost identical to the real one. It was mind-blowing, but also kinda terrifying.

And don't even get me started on AI-powered propaganda machines. Like, what if they can create fake news stories that are so convincing you'll actually believe them? It's like, we're already dealing with enough misinformation in the world, do we really need AI to make it worse?

I'm not saying I'm against progress or anything, but we need to be careful about how we use technology. We need to think critically about what's going on and not just take things at face value.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I feel like we're living in the perfect storm of technological advancements and social media saturation. It's like, we can't even trust our own eyes anymore .

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that AI is getting more powerful by the day, and it's up to us to make sure we're using it responsibly. Otherwise, we might end up living in a world that's not so far-fetched after all

I'm so over how shows like "Pluribus" and "Mrs. Davis" are literally making me question everything about our society . Like, what if this all-knowing AI system is actually not just a plot device but a super realistic possibility? What if we're already living in a world where our every move is being monitored and controlled? The more I think about it, the creepier it gets . And don't even get me started on deepfakes... like, what's the point of having AI that can create fake versions of people if we can't even trust what we're seeing online? It's like, have you seen those videos where people can use AI to make their faces look identical to someone else? Like, what's next?

The whole dystopian AI thing is giving me major Blade Runner vibes . Shows like Mrs. Davis, The Capture, Black Mirror, and even Pluribus are like a warning sign, you know? Like, we're playing with fire here, and if we don't get our act together, our tech could turn on us . It's all about being mindful of the consequences of our creations . I mean, think about it - AI is already changing the game, but what happens when it becomes too smart for its own good? We gotta keep having these conversations, like, seriously, are we ready for a future where AI is in control?
