"AI Has Taken the Excitement Out of Enjoying Videos" - Why This Reveals Something Deeper

Someone posted that AI ruined video enjoyment for them. They said every time they see something fascinating, they have to check if it's AI-generated before they can give themselves permission to enjoy it. This reveals an interesting psychological pattern.

My response was blunt: "This is odd - if it peaked your curiosity, there's an intelligent human with your best interest behind it." Then I asked the key questions: If we're going for entertainment - were you entertained? If education - were you educated?

Here's what's really happening: AI can't replace the pioneer, the one directing AI. You can find good pioneers even in AI-generated content based on whether our problems are getting solved or not.

The forced AI hate will get neutralized eventually as it becomes normalized. Don't fall for group-think. Instead, leverage AI to solve human problems like the pioneers are doing.

They pushed back saying I "literally proved their point" and that AI hate won't neutralize. But here's what they missed - this is classic resistance to technological change that always follows the same pattern.

My final point: "Ebbs and flows - it will neutralize and normalize." Every major technology faces this initial resistance, then acceptance, then integration. The question isn't whether AI content is "real" - it's whether it serves its purpose.

Hope you found this valuable! :)
