nah, it's going to be the opposite.
if other computer technology has been anything to go off of then only those who lived through is adaption and watched it progress will know how to spot it. those who grow up with hard to spot ai will just accept that they can't see it and think we're weird for trying so hard to prove things are ai. they'll also think we're weird for caring.
our boomer trait will be doing art instead of asking ai to generate images and video, or wanting things made by people when the ai generated thing is "good enough".
we'll be getting eyerolls for gifting a nice art set or a camera to our niblings. we'll embarrass our grandkids when we get upset at the ai point of sale system that mcdonalds starts using. "back in my day they had big touch screens where you could manually select your toppings on the burger, now you just yell into a box and MAYBE gets it right"
actually, if social media tech is anything to go on we won't even have that much control. your order will be algorithm based. chosen for you based on your recent ad footprint. the ai obviously knows what you want better than you do. the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same, but we're going to hate it. the corps will push it anyway because it's so massively profitable with the demographics that like it and every restaurant will be owned by like 2 companies. they'll just force it on everyone else. we'll bitch about it, but most people will still keep going.
edit: had more thoughts on this in the shower.
we'll get to the point where we barely even have to pick a place to eat. there will be 2 apps. one owned by disneycokemcdonsldsalibaba, one owned by pepsifoxraytheonamazon. we will all be either a coke person or a Pepsi person and will likely just follow whichever brand our parents did. they'll be inherently political and each have a sponsored candidate in every election. it will define the entire world you live in. when it's time to eat you get a notification and the app orders you your meal.
it'll start as a service for when you can't decide what to eat then after it gets a critical mass of users it will start to enshitify into forcing what you eat before selling to the disney megacorp who will then push it into everything they own.
this is only for the rich people that these brands cater towards of course. we who would have once been creatives will be working manual labor at the camps for the underemployed. afterall, we're better off with the structure. it helps us be productive towards society. it's what's best for us....
Well, that's a horrifying dystopia, well done.
"the kids won't see it as weird. they'll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same" is the bit that sold it for me. It's entirely plausible, corporations would live it, and I hate it.
There's a way to avoid this.
To be fair on the burger point, plenty would claim right now we shout at minimum wage workers our order who MAYBE get it right
we shout at minimum wage workers
Speak for yourself
'Tis the difficulty of language, the intention was to refer to as the societal "we", of which I play no part.
Fuck people who shout at people trying to provide them a service.
the robots won't be equipped to fix it. there will be no one left to tell they got it wrong.
Even if they hear and enter the order correctly, the probably of exactly that ending up in the bag is still pretty low. At least the food service robots might get that part right.
i hate this why did you say this
same reason harlan ellison wrote i have no mouth and i must scream i suppose...
My dude, you just summed up the movie Idiocracy
Nah, left out the gross eugenics stuff.
Which every high level corpo is very into.
Your order is already "algorithm based" and has been for like a decade, companies routinely adjust pricing and even selection based on your ad/surveillance footprint, say hiking the price of it think you got a payday recently (based on spending patterns etc). Idk about McDonald's (though I wouldn't be surprised) but the fact that Amazon does this is very well documented
