They kinda do, but I dont think its due to exposure to it, theyre just amazingly easy to use these days. They're very very intuitive.
I have no idea how my phone works, because I've never needed to learn. Its always just done exactly what I need it to do. I used to know pretty much everything about windows XP though.
Absolutely the problem. They've stopped trying to make fun and started trying to exploit psychological weaknesses and hijack our internal reward systems to rinse us of both time and money.
Fun is no longer the driving factor, and it makes me feel not quite angry or nauseous, but somewhere around those emotions.
My wife opens Facebook on my phone a lot because shes nosy. Last time I opened my phone and it was already open. I scrolled for about 2 minutes waiting to see if anything would interest me, nothing did. Eventually it came up with a real person's name and I realised I wasnt on reddit.
Took it fucking ages to do the one thing I would want it to do.
Remember when thr pandemic happened and we did a lock down and everyone had to stay home instead of going to work and basically nothing terrible happened?
In the UK at least, most gambling adverts are showing off how easy it is to stop when you use their platform. Just a solid minute of "stay in control of your gambling" etc.
I dont know what fallacy or whatever it is, but it makes me queasy.
We like to be useful. Pitching in and doing our share and making/doing things for other people who do the same for us feels good. Its a large part of what got us here and not living in caves dying of infection.
Recently its become perverted though. There's not enough satisfaction from being a useful member of society, and too much of the guys above you shouting "more! Faster! Better! I can replace you so easily!"
Absolutely it is. Thats where we got the phrase "kicking them upstairs" from. Promote the useless guy to a position where they can't actually do any damage.
If AI succeeds in replacing a lot of those "positions", we're going to face a tsunami of idiots.
I'm legit scared of that. Im only in my 30s and my capacity for learning has diminished greatly since I was a child. What if that trajectory continues?
I dont wanna be "too old to learn these newfangled thingamabobs" when we get the next big thing.
