Hi so I want to mention something

 The internet is annoying because whenever I click on something, it automatically assumes I’m interested in it. Then recommends me more stuff of the same.

It’s annoying, I’m sure other people have noticed it when they click on a link or type something in Google.

I could click on something and have zero interest in it, and it still doesn’t know or can tell either way.

This brings up an important article I read- on medium called “TikTok is now way worse than you thought” (https://medium.com/yardcouch-com/tiktok-is-now-way-worse-than-you-thought-e67d9ca2ea65 ) and I found it when searching: TikTok is dumb. Cause I genuinely don’t like TikTok even though I do have an account I barely ever use.  

Also, I just find it a serious problem for many people.

Like…challenges that turn out to be dumb or dangerous, peer pressure, social and political problems becoming careless and hive mind mentality, harassment based off sex or race, disability, social status, or even sexual orientation, and all your regular internet problems)….

and I find it especially annoying when old people are ignorant about it and say like, “it’s not a big deal” or “the new generation is changing everything” cause like it’s not, it’s a bad time for many people.  Many reasons why.  Also, China OWNS TikTok and actually controls it in the background. I have nothing against China, but they don’t really like us as a country(America) and are run by a dictator at the moment, so… that’s a problem?

MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE? When old people actually use or have TikTok themselves. Like, okay? Have fun with that? I’m sure,,, *rolls eyes*.  Whatever. I don’t care either way…

 Old people also seem to believe everything they see nowadays, and are not always open  to change their views or perspective (because age makes you more rigid, not all the time of course, but most of the time) or their lifestyles etc, but even basic things, LIKE THE FACT THAT NOT EVERY YOUNG PERSON GEN Z OR MILLENNIAL HAS TIKTOK. like, dude, come on.

So, let’s say HYPOTHETICALLY my views were different and I like TikTok and use it a lot. If I clicked on this article, about why TikTok is a serious problem, the computer/internet/whatever would ASSUME I don’t like TikTok. If this was an opposite scenario.

Let’s say, me with my dislike for TikTok, I  looked up “TikTok trends” and started actually using TikTok (not in a million years, but this is an example), would the computer internet whatever start recommending me more TikTok stuff? Yeah, it would! That’s the problem! The computer is monitoring what I look up and assuming what I like or don’t like. That’s my whole point.

I find this stupid; the algorithm is stupid. It doesn’t know anything about me. Ai, artificial intelligence is not actually that smart. Get rid of it. No offense, but it takes away people’s jobs as well. I don’t like it.

People who disagree are just relying on tech too much.

Deep down, we’re all just people.

Also, the article I shared from medium is really funny and accurate. Check it out. I love how he says “Americans have the memory of a goldfish”. So true…

Okay, that’s all. This was kind of a discussion vent post where I just share my thoughts, I’ll go back to posting my art and more fun stuff later!

Bye.. :)
