It probably will go back to educating people on how to spot the AI generated content, regardless of what that content is
Art, Music, Film. Science Papers, research etc

I used to follow a lot of teachers who talked about enlightenment and spiritual practice, and it's insane how many of them now have nothing to say about Gaza, or are outright siding with Israel.
It's like, what the hell was the point of all that inner work if it leads you to tacitly or explicitly endorse an active genocide? What good are all your insights and realizations if all they do is make you feel nice inside and don't translate to any positive effects on the world outside your own skull? Who gives a fuck if you've had some shift in consciousness and some kundalini fireworks if you're still a dogshit human being contributing to the disease and dysfunction of your species?
If your spirituality doesn't lead to positive changes in yourself and your surroundings, it's just glorified masturbation. If you've thrown yourself into self-realization and nondual awakening for decades at this point and you can't even stand up against genocide and ethnic cleansing, then you've wasted your life on worthless endeavors. You may as well have been throwing yourself into internet porn escapism or a nice wholesome opiate habit this whole time.

Fair point, I did see this earlier

Ok the DM tends to be full of nonsense at times. But surely anyone with ADHD or symptoms of may be vulnerable and could fall victim to exploitation when they are worried about symptoms.

I'll repost this because it's funny. also academic peer review is collapsing.
Why are people getting a diagnosis from social media influencers, surely people need a diagnosis from a qualified professional?
Queen Elizabeth II was in her 90s when she died, still able to do her job, and even met the new PM a day or two before she died
Clearly age and ability to do a job can't be directly linked.

1/2 An impressive long-term study shows the harms of overly controlling parenting, connecting the perception of such control by one's parents at age 13 with relationship difficulties & lower educational attainment nearly 2o decades later: https://is.gd/spjQi0
"Adolescents who perceive their parents to be psychologically controlling are likely to...steer away from close relationships [as adults, having learned that such relationships] are sources of stress and that closeness comes at a cost"
The criminals who use AI to exploit others won't bother with this anyway, surely.
