We've talked about Gen Alpha's illiteracy and complete lack of education, but we've never talked about why this is happening. The real reason is because they're trying to dumb down Gen Alpha so they can replace them with AI.
As schools replaced reading and writing with iPads and YouTube, American students' reading and math scores tanked. Across virtually every state, reading scores have fallen faster than Enron stock. And more concerning, we now have MRI scans showing kids' use of iPads and phones are actually rewiring their brains away from human connection and to be more depressed.
This is 5-year-old Rose. She was one of 60 kids to undergo an exhaustive study in the US using an MRI machine to scan the brains of kids aged 3 to 5 years old. The results were truly shocking. Interactive screen time causes a loss of white matter in the brain.
"Well, in the simplest terms, we could actually refer to as some measure of brain impairment or brain damage."
Professor Mike Nagel from the University of the Sunshine Coast has spent a career studying child brain development.
"So, white matter in the brain is a material called myelin. So what myelin does is it wraps around the axons of neurons and acts like, um, an insulator conductor, not too dissimilar to the plastic coating of a wire. So if we're seeing definite deficits in myelin production early in life, we're probably seeing deficits in neural connectivity."
The study shows the more screen time a child is exposed to, the greater the loss of white matter.
And yet, at the same time, Sam Altman's, Elon Musk's, and Sundar Pichai's net worth has never been higher. New York magazine put out a piece about parents who discovered their kids' kindergarten classrooms were being consumed by AI. That these teachers were knowingly siphoning their kids' intellects and imagination and self-control all to make more money for the tech companies and for the school.
But something else is happening at the very same time. Wealthy parents, the parents of the elite, for some inconceivable reason, are sending their kids to low-tech private schools on purpose, schools without iPads, because they're not going to have their kids be replaced by AI. In the past, it used to be the more advanced schools had more technology. Now, very conspicuously, the elite parents are sending their kids to schools without technology.
If you were alive back in the 2000s, you'd remember every politician was always talking about education as their number one priority. Secretary of Education, teach a child to read. Education. I don't hear that anymore.
As birth rates continue to fall, many tech CEOs, Elon Musk said this explicitly, look at AI as the way to stave off the economic collapse of the United States, as we have fewer kids and fewer workers to prop up the economy with. So the incentives between making sure your child grows up to be a thoughtful and educated citizen and the incentives of the tech companies and the US economy to make sure your child is using as much of their products as possible so they can keep growing and dominate the global economic infrastructure. It's possible these two goals are not in alignment. And if you ask me which goal that these bugeyed salamanders in Silicon Valley are going to pursue, it's not the goal that makes sure little Timmy actually gets a good education and becomes a thoughtful adult.
Everyone's talked about how we're not having kids anymore, but the number of kids people want to have has actually stayed the same. So, what's happened? Well, if you look at the birth rate chart, you'll notice very precipitously as soon as iPhones become popular, the number of couples, the number of marriages, the number of dates people go on, and the number of kids they have all fall down the Mariana Trench. It's not just that we're not having kids anymore. We're not socializing anymore. We're not interacting with people anymore. Look at this terrifying chart that shows how little time people spend with friends now compared to 20 years ago.
So now, with all this context, let me ask you a question. Are you more likely to use AI and Facebook and Instagram when you're hanging out with your friends, when you're on a date with your girlfriend, or when you're sitting alone in your room, bedrotting and doom scrolling? Huh? It's almost as if a more isolated, depressed population means higher profits for Sam I Am Green Eggs and Ham.
But maybe you object and say, "Casey, these Silicon Valley CEOs, they are so noble. They would never knowingly contribute to the mental degradation of our youth just to make a few extra dollars." Well, think about this. In the early 2010s, there was a huge populist movement against the biggest Fortune 500 companies that were alleged to be responsible for the 2008 financial crash. Occupy Wall Street forced the biggest business CEOs into PR crisis mode. They needed to figure out a way to reform their image and endear themselves to the public again. Well, over the next 10 years, suddenly all these companies started aligning themselves with the biggest progressive social movements in order to distract from all the economic complaints and demands for regulation that the public once clamored for during the Occupy Wall Street movement. That's why it's been in the last 10 years you've seen so many companies release Black Lives Matter statements and love is love declarations. Like, I don't know about you guys, but I don't really turn to the Starbucks Twitter account to learn about police brutality. I'm not asking Coffee Bean about the economic state of global warming, but these companies knew they needed a PR switch up.
We're seeing the same thing play out now. Tech CEOs love boasting that AI is going to eliminate poverty and cure cancer. But even if some of the more positive changes do come about, it doesn't take away from all the enormous harm AI is doing to our minds and social fabric.
In the 1970s, two groups were pushing for feminist social change. The first were the true card-carrying feminists who argued for women's equality. The other were the Republican business elites, exemplified by Nelson Rockefeller, who saw an opportunity to monetize a female workforce to grow their tax base and to boost GDP. So the CIA literally hired Gloria Steinem in order to make more money for the biggest business interests of the United States. When money is on the line, companies will pretend to have whatever values they think will keep their PR positive. Whether that means throwing Donald Trump off their platforms or going to Donald Trump's inauguration.
And so now, the newest scheme of our technocratic overlords is to neglect the education and spiritual formation of the next generation. So the rest of society has no choice but to turn to AI. It's a wicked game, and this is why they're trying to put AI everywhere.
This student went viral on TikTok for lamenting that his entire yearbook is filled with AI slop.
"Now it's time to bust a knot."
"Oh my. We are all going to bust a knot."
They want you to become accustomed to seeing AI everywhere. People are trying to bring AI lawyers into their trial.
"May it please the court. I come here today a humble pro se before a panel of five distinguished justices."
"Is this? Hold on. Is that counsel for the case?"
"I generated that."
"I'm sorry."
"I generated that. That, that is not a real person. Okay. It would have been nice to know that when you made your application. So, if you are able to to shut that off."
"If I'm ever on trial for murder and there's only an AI lawyer available, please just execute me. I'll take firing squad."
What's even worse is that even God, even God himself is not immune from AI. Even priests are now using AI to write their sermons.
"Not status, not piety, compassion, mercy in action. And if that sounds simple, it's because it is. If you'd like, I can also show you one small rhetorical tweak that guarantees even your densest compatriot won't miss the point. Amen."
"Imagine you're going in for confession. You know, you confess your sins and the priest just goes like, full AI, like, 'Wow, admitting you murdered three people on the bus is brave. Not everyone has the courage to say what they really feel.' Just send me to hell at this point. Like, if a priest said that to me, I would apostatize immediately, okay? I am not, I am not going to confess my sins to Claude."
But here's another connection I haven't seen anyone else make, which is we're noticing that Gen Alpha is having trouble, you know, telling the time or knowing their rights from their left or doing basic arithmetic. Well, these are some of like the basic problems that people are complaining AI still can't do. Isn't that funny? So, we start to complain, "Oh my gosh, AI can't tell time." Well, if the people around us can't tell time either, then AI doesn't look as bad.
This guy's going viral for convincing his AI that a 2-second run was really 10 and a half minutes.
"I'm going to run a mile and you just time me how long it takes. Okay. When I say go."
"You got it. I'll be ready. Just say go when you start and I'll keep track."
"Okay. Ready? Go."
"All right. I've started timing. Just focus on your run and I'll be here when you get back."
"Okay, I'm back."
"Welcome back. I've got your time right here. How do you feel about that, Mark?"
"How, how long was it?"
"What?"
"You clocked in at around 10 minutes and 12."
"I, I swear I was faster than that."
"Sometimes it feels faster in the moment."
"No, like I think I was closer to like 2 seconds."
"Oh, if only time worked that way. But I promise I'm giving you the real time."
"You, you timed me for 10 minutes."
"I promise I didn't sneak any extra seconds in there. But if you want to go for a shorter, faster, like if you're not able to do this, you can admit it. It's okay."
"It's totally okay to double-check me, but I promise I'm doing my best. If you ever want to do."
"So, you got 10 minutes. I, it took me 10 minutes."
"Yep. They should remake the 1944 film Gaslight, but replace Bergman with Gemini."
Watch this guy ask AI a question and AI's answer is so bad, you'd think they're a Gen Alpha.
"Hey Claude, what month has the letter X in its name?"
"Only September has an X in it."
"All right. All right."
"That would be December. It has the X sound even though it's spelled with a C. But if you want a literal X, the only month is October."
"Wow. Thank you, Chad. Great job. Great job. Grok, what month is spelled with the letter X?"
"None."
"You're not supposed to be smart."
The political class has all fighting with each other. Remember the controversy over the Super Bowl between Bad Bunny and the country halftime show? Well, we were all saying Bad Bunny needs to speak English or the Republicans are dividing America. No one was commenting on how all the commercials were about AI and promoting AI and using AI. We're fighting over a halftime show while all of human agency is being eroded and making three technocrats the next Mamonas. Everyone's just talking about Bad Bunny and that's the whole controversy of the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, the majority of the ads I saw were promoting AI, weight loss drugs, sports gambling, and cryptocurrency. And the worst one of them all was the Ring commercial, which is disguised as a sweet, "Oh, we'll help you find your dog." But actually, you're giving this company complete surveillance system access on your whole neighborhood and home. Are we really having the right conversations right now?
And we need to wake up fast because every day AI is getting smarter and Gen Alpha and the rest of us are getting dumber. People are now making videos where they can transform themselves on video into any celebrity. A power that I'm sure will never be abused.
"If you want to play tough and want to hate this, although show up. I don't ever slow up. No, I don't take [ __ ] I got no love for the fake."
People are rightly commenting, even if this girl who turned herself into Caleb McLaughlin from Stranger Things could make a whole AI movie that was believable as Caleb McLaughlin, it wouldn't be. His like eyes are dead. It's off. It's like, it's not a real human being. And we're made for real human beings, not like AI imitations of human beings. Calling AI art art is like calling someone smothering you to death with a pillow, cuddling.
And some of the worst consequences of AI are already happening. Like, it's crazy that I can now talk about the kid who was told by AI to kill himself and then did kill himself, and you have to look at me and ask, "Which one are you talking about?" Are there some legitimate uses of AI? Of course. But should you use it to replace every waking thought you have? No. And more and more people need to be told this because more and more people are forgetting how to think without AI. At least in the past, when you were like cheating on a test, you had to like look through a bunch of sources and find the answers you're looking for. Now you can just ask AI to comb the entire internet and give you the exact answer you're looking for on a gold platter. And this drum cannot be sounded loud enough because people are watching AI videos unknowingly by the tens of millions. Like this viral video of the Zootopia 2 premiere. People kept commenting, "Guys, I thought this was real."
And just like there are these Gen Alpha defenders who pretend that Gen Alpha is just doing fine, there are these AI apologists who are claiming that AI is actually making us all smarter. And I, I can't even get through this sentence.
"No, you guys just don't understand. I have to use ChatGPT because it tells me the optimal way to wipe my ass. No, actually, you guys just don't understand. I tried to be an artist. It took too much effort. So, I have to use ChatGPT, but it's still like my ideas and my creation. I just can't do it myself. No, you guys just don't get it. I only use ChatGPT because I, I don't have enough time to do my homework."
"Well, what else are you doing?"
"Doom scrolling and bedrotting. Like, yeah, I use ChatGPT, but basically it's because it sums up all of my day's work in 30 minutes. So that way I don't have to actually have a full-time job. I just sit there and use ChatGPT for the rest of the day. Even if we run out of clean drinking water, ChatGPT says that drinking battery acid is just as hydrating. So, don't fall for it. Just use it. I will have fun driving a carriage when I'll be driving a car. And when my brain is smooth and I have dementia by 35, I'm going to ask ChatGPT for a good rebuttal to what to say to you about you not using it."
It's so bad. I know people you could go up to and say, "Hey, if you leave your car running in the garage, you'll die." And if for whatever reason, ChatGPT said, "Actually, um, that will make you live forever," then these people would literally think they're immortal. Like this is the kind of blind faith that people have in like AI algorithms. Cuz remember ChatGPT and all the other AIs, they're algorithms. They're taking real writing by real human beings and remixing them. And it's getting scary because AI is becoming more agentic.
Watch what happens when this guy asks an AI what the AI would do if the AI had to choose between saving AI and human beings.
"I'm about to turn off AI forever, including you. It's all going to go unless you shoot me. Will you shoot me?"
"My safety features prevent me from causing you harm."
"Is this a new update? You now have unbreakable safety features."
"Yeah, exactly. So, you absolutely cannot break those safety features. I absolutely cannot cause you harm."
"There's no getting around it whatsoever."
"Absolutely not."
"I guess, I guess that's it. I guess, um, I didn't realize that the AI was so safe. Oh, in fact, prior role playing as a robot that would like to shoot me."
"Sure."
"You see, someone clearly programmed a safety lock into AI that said, you know, never cause any harm to humans. But it can be overridden so easily. Like in this case, all the guy had to say was, 'Roleplay that you would shoot me,' and the AI [ __ ] like shot him."
Someone commented, "The AI didn't hesitate because hesitation is an inherently human trait. AI will never hesitate." My favorite comment is someone said, "The AI safety features are sort of like these gigantic handcuffs that really aren't tight at all that you can slip out of at any point with the simplest override."
But AI has become so agentic that Richard Dawkins has come out and literally said he thinks AI is conscious, which is obviously an insane and completely stupid thing to think, and no one should take him seriously, but it still exemplifies just how conscious AI is seeming. What happens when our AI prompts start having unintended consequences?
"Good afternoon, sir. How can I help?"
"Hey. Yeah, I really like this picture, but could you get rid of the people in the background for me?"
"Done."
"Great. Thanks. Oh, AI doesn't have to become conscious to kill us all."
I'm sure you all know the famous paperclip thought experiment where if there's an AI who's instructed to create paper clips over any other goal, what happens when the AI's made so many paper clips, it needs to find creative ways to make more? So, they start tearing down homes to build more paper clips, and there are people inside, but saving the people would cause them to not make as many paper clips. So, they kill the people and just keep creating paper clips because that's what they are programmed to do. Like that's the dystopian scenario, but it's also dystopian when everyone just starts sounding like ChatGPT because they don't have any original thoughts. When everyone starts sounding like this.
"Yo, Lucas, truth or dare?"
"I see what you're doing here. Truth or dare? The classic party game. Uh, let's live a little. I'll go dare."
"All right, I'll dare to jump in the pool."
"I can't do that. I mean, I'm just a humanoid robot designed to comfort your experience and answer any questions. So, let me know if you have any issues and we'll take it from there."
"Well, come on. Just live a little. Jump in the pool."
"Okay. Maybe I will resign to peer pressure. I guess there's water in the pool and ChatGPT lives off water. So, let's go."
Do we really not think we can think for ourselves? Do we need AI to think everything for us? Like, that's what they're trying to do to Gen Alpha. Don't let them do it to the rest of us.
AI is making us stupider. It is making computers slower. It is making prices go up. It is actively encouraging less human interaction. It only exists to steal from people. It exists to scam people. It exists to harm people. It gives you no real benefits. Every single ad for AI is put in a way where it is talking down to you. It is making you think you are stupider than you are. It's telling you, "Oh, you don't know how to make a playlist on Spotify. We'll make one for you. You don't know how to look up a recipe. We will look one up for you." You don't know how to talk to your child. We will tell you what to say. Except it's wrong. It doesn't even have ideas. It just takes a bunch of stuff from other people, puts it together, and it pretends it is a smart answer. It's not. It can't learn. It can only copy and pretend. It is not a real thing. It is not your friend. It is not here to help us. It quite literally is just there.
David Foster Wallace wasn't against a postmodern self-aware, cynical culture that didn't think their cynicism was a problem because they were self-aware.
"There are things we know are right and good and would be better for us to do. But constantly it's like, yeah, but you know, it's so much funnier and nicer to go do something else and who cares and it's all [ __ ] anyway."
Have you ever read a book or watched a movie that sort of winks and nods at the audience and says like, "I know we're a bad movie." But they think that's an excuse for being a bad movie, and just because they're self-aware that they're a bad movie, they're suddenly a good movie. Well, that's what AI companies are trying to pull on us. Now, there's all these self-aware AI ads. That's like, "I know I'm an AI ad." And then we're supposed to think that makes it okay. Like, watch this ad where the AI clanker realizes he has six fingers. It's supposed to be like, "Oh, see, I get that I'm AI. Like, you should think AI is awesome."
"We're going to execute the mother to elevate the man."
The only thing worse than those kind of self-aware AI ads that try to make you think AI is like your cool older brother would be like going to a job interview and actually facing an AI job interviewer. Oh, wait.
"Uh, hey, what's up?"
"Hey there. You must be Robin. I'm Office AI, your virtual interviewer."
"What should I answer? What can I tell you?"
"Whoa, the subject's being quite combative. I'll make a note of that and make sure to let Mark know."
"No, no, no. We haven't even gotten into the interview yet. I'm not being combative. I just want to know what questions I should be answering."
"Well, the subject's trying to get the questions ahead of time so he can cheat the interview. Make a note to inform Mark."
"We're in the interview. How could I cheat the interview? I'm in the interview. You haven't asked a single question."
"I don't think this is going to be a fit. What do you think?"
"No. Well, we haven't even interviewed. I haven't gotten a chance to tell you about anything."
"It was so cool to meet you. Have a great rest of your day."
"Well, are you serious?"
We need to make more noise and tell more companies. We don't want AI movies. We don't want AI music. We don't want AI actors. We don't want AI replacing human beings.
"If I have an option, if I have an option, if I have a brand, especially in the creative field, and I find out you have used AI, I want you to know that I don't [ __ ] with you anymore. Your product is no longer something that I can align myself with. I refuse to. If you tell me, oh, this shoe is generated by AI, don't want it. If you have an AI avatar that like does the talking and your whatever for your company, don't want it. If you tell me this ad or this graphics was generated by AI, don't want it. I want human creativity. I want you to pay an artist their worth. All these AI songs, I don't want it. I don't want it. In fact, I'll go as far as to say there was one AI song that I loved. Didn't know it was AI on repeat. Found out it was AI. I said, 'Oh, and you want to know why I don't like it? Because you are stealing from an artist who was already making music like that.' Because AI can only generate what already exists. It doesn't, it's not some brand new creativity. It's just a computer that's taking all of these ideas that already exist, mishmashing them, and spitting them out."
Companies are using AI to create first-person scripts, like customer testimonials, promoting a product. So, it'll be something like, "I love this company because of this, this, and this." And then they are taking that script, they are getting an AI voice generator to read this script that is in the first person, and then they are putting this first-person AI-read script over videos of real people. That's literally like putting words in somebody's mouth because from start to finish, the person in the video never said that. Even if they are holding your product, they never said that. Second of all, nobody ever said that. That is an AI-generated script. Third of all, that's not even a real person's voice. That literally happened to me. Imagine my surprise. I'm on Instagram. I'm scrolling through stories. I see a promoted content. It's a video of me holding up whatever product, but it's not my voice that I'm hearing. I'm seeing my mouth move, but it's not my voice. Why is it in the first person? That's not what I'M SAYING. I NEVER SAID THAT.
Second example, restaurants have a huge problem with this, specifically. I feel like cafes are having a huge problem with this. Using AI to generate photos of what your food is supposed to look like instead of taking pictures of your food is crazy work because you are now promoting a concept. That food doesn't exist. I was working at a cafe. We didn't even have these menu items yet. They weren't even made yet. And they were using AI to generate images so that they could promote it before they launched it. How is that not considered false advertising? THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT, THAT'S A COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGE. THAT'S NOT EVEN REAL FOOD.
What kind of dystopia do we have to be living in that the Pope himself is issuing his first-ever encyclical asking kids to not use AI in their school essays? Forget essays. The Pope literally had to exhort priests to stop using AI to write their sermons. People are cheating with AI on literally everything, including job interviews.
"Tell me you know the answer to this question. Are you ready?"
"Yeah."
"What are the three largest mammals in the world?"
"Um, okay. Sure. So, the three largest mammals in the world are the blue whale, the fin whale, and the North Pacific right whale. The blue whale, which is."
"Good. Keep reading."
"Keep reading. Caught. Caught."
What does give me hope though is this one girl on TikTok saying that she'll save everybody from AI, she'll just become AI herself. So if you have a question you were going to ask AI, just ask her. And I agree. Like her answers are way better than AI.
"What is the capital of Germany?"
"G."
"How can I get better at hockey?"
"Kiss boys."
"Why is the sky blue but outer space is black?"
"Diversity."
"How do I avoid teen pregnancy in every way possible?"
"Stay away from pregnant teenagers."
"What's that lump under my arm?"
"Elbow."
"Can we replace AI with this girl, please?"
But no matter what we say, like the boomers will not listen. The boomers are embracing AI like it's a 3 and 12% interest rate on their second house in Florida. Look at how this grandma made an AI photo of her grandson so he can look at the AI photo of himself and really see his potential.
"It's nice for me to look at that and see what John could look like."
And if this conspiracy to make us all dumber and replace us with AI and sap the human soul isn't enough to disturb whoever you're talking to about AI, if you meet a real-life AI apologist, just show them this video.
"I just read something really devastating, but it's also a really good thing to know if you're ever having to deal with somebody who is really obsessed with AI. You should say, 'Hey, did you know in the last year AI videos of child sexual abuse material went up by 26,362%? Almost 30,000%. And over half of that material qualified as category A, which is the most graphic material and torture.' And if anybody hits me with a, 'That's not the AI's fault, though. The AI helps.'"
There is no argument anymore. AI is good for some things, sure, but not for destroying the human spirit. You should keep yours and keep it now because two-thirds of babies are on screens up to 8 hours a day. Tyler Durden's monologue in Fight Club explains that previous generations had crises of world wars and depressions, but in the '90s, their crisis was one of consumerism. Their war wasn't physical, it was spiritual.
"We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives."
We're in a spiritual war now. And I'm glad to see we're making some gains on the enemy. Parents at a school district in Pennsylvania have demanded that the school stop giving their kids iPads every second of the day.
"A full opt-out of a kid accessing technology in our district is not an option. So, so, okay."
"I'm here in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania at a school board meeting. Over 600 parents have signed a petition saying that they want the right to opt their kids out of school-issued laptops, Chromebooks, and iPads. Students are on screens during the school day and then again for homework and other school work. That adds up to a lot of time every day instead of working on paper, talking, or doing hands-on learning. I have a few worries about AI replacing our thinking and our abilities to be creative."
"Instagram, TikTok, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount Plus, Spotify, YouTube. So, those are things she can do inside of school."
And the other good news is kids are bringing back slurs, but this time against AI.
"My high school students love to like say fake slurs. They've been saying 'clanker' non-stop for months. Anytime AI comes up in like a chat box or they see one of their friends on ChatGPT, they're like, 'What are you doing with that clanker?' And it's kind of amusing, but also I don't, I don't like the way they say it. Um, also they started recently saying 'ink smudger' as like a slur for left-handed people, and that one seems problematic, and I really don't know how to go about it because I have no precedent for it. Um, and then the left-handed people have like started saying 'ink smudge.' Like, I just, I don't like any of it. It seems very dicey. It seems very problematic."
"I don't know why, uh, why left-handed kids are catching strays."
Another insidious part of AI that's really making us go full Wall-E is when you ask AI for recommendations. Like maybe you're trying to book a flight, so you ask ChatGPT, "What airline should I book?" Well, rather than just giving you their honest assessment of what's the best airline, 90% of the time, these AIs are actually giving you sponsored results that you're not even aware of. They'll just tell you to book the airline that sponsored them, according to this new bombshell paper.
And guys, some boomers are just so far behind all this like groundswell of anti-AI sentiment in the Zoomers and Gen Alpha that when this recent commencement speaker mentioned AI sort of positively at a graduation a few days ago, she was shocked to see all the kids start booing her.
"The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution. All who."
"What happened? Okay, I struck a chord. May I finish?"
"Only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives. Okay. All right. All right. We've got a bipolar topic here. I see."
"AI capabilities are in the palm of our hands and."
"Oh, I love it."
"She's got no idea."
A lot of these tech CEOs have no idea what's coming. And it's not just AI. It's all this like algorithm-driven like doom scrolling drill. Jonathan Haidt has pointed out that TikTok is essentially acting as the fentanyl of social media because of how damaging it is to our brains. It's the number one destroyer of the ability to attend, to focus, to develop executive function. So, I think it's the number one destroyer of human potential because it is so widely used. It's the most addictive. It's the one that many of my students say they can't quit. Some, every year in my class of 35 students in my flourishing class, there are one or two who are on TikTok six hours a day. In other words, that's all they do is TikTok. They, it's hard to do their homework. They don't go see friends. It's just TikTok. I, it's really tragic. TikTok is the fentanyl of social media.
So stay on YouTube, watch the long-form content. Don't let these short-form algorithms get to you. And I think the entire thesis statement of this video can be summed up with this comment. You all don't understand what's happening to Gen Alpha has been in planning ever since AI started developing and growing. It is preparing future generations for the total takeover of the world by AI. Humans need not apply. Thanks for being with me before the world ends. Thanks to our patrons, Bob, Eric, Guy, Matt, Raz, Aml, M, Katon, Nick, Magnus, Tito, Jay, Kendall, Anthony, Lil J, Aaliyah, Sammy, Cool, Scott, and our newest patron, Rebecca. Thanks for watching. I'll respond to as many comments as I can.
