    To the chagrin of the unfortunate General Foods corporation, the water flavor enhancement product used at Jones Town was actually Flavor Aid.

    And maybe that's a pretty good analogy to what's going on with this post. It contemplates a world of suburban parental neglect and private burrito taxis and lays them at the feet of AI. But these were happening before LLMs burst onto the scene.

    In a world of $3,000 rent and $3,000 medication and $3,000 preschool, what do you expect will happen?

        You literally cite the wikipedia page that explains this? Or was this anti-AI slop also written by AI..
