I happened to see a tiktoker pretending to make dog milk gift to his grandmother, some people said in the comments that they drank their pet dog's milk when they were child and dog milk tastes even better than milk. So i'm curious now why people don't keep huge dogs for milk? and maybe also deer?
I have seen people here sharing screenshots of those who have relationship with AIs, however, I would like to ask what I should do if some my friends are too into AI and I don't want to lose them (currently I stopped reacting to them if they stop being themselves and copypaste what i said to AI and send the screenshots of what AI reacted to "me").
it's kinda normal for people around my age to use AI as therapist (a human therapist here is beyond most people can afford so I don't think it's problematic), but one my friend beside using Chatgpt to generate every article on their blog (they are a lobbyist), even in private use Chatgpt to chat with people, be like they don't say things on theirselves but copypaste AI text (with the **** so i think it's AI) and screenshots. They became so difficult to talk to because when we don't agree on something, we don't debate or listen to each other anymore (we have been known for 8+ years), but be like they send me the screenshot where AI said I'm wrong or even am trying to manipulate them, and ask me to apologize. Actually we haven't talked to each other for months because they sent me an AI generated text wall with **** in which they asked me for a large amount of money because they had a bad dream in which I asked them to buy me a lunch, they thought it's because of PTSD about me.
I also feel how talking to AI is radicalizing my friends, not only the one mentioned but also another friend, stalks my social account and asks AI to repute me then sends me the screenshots, or floods me with screenshots how AI highly agrees with his theory. He became extremly easy to get angry and, I would call it harassment, forces me to admit i'm not qualified to be in my religion according to his discussion with AI.
Definitely I hate AI now for it can make people become so unlike to have a calm conversation with others and they can't endure different opinions anymore, but in reality it's also so much used, as even some of my colleagues (i'm a researcher) use what AI generated to support their argument. I also talked a lot to AI but I stopped doing that after people started to talk to me through AI. I'm really lost. I would thank everyone who can offer some advice, sorry for long text.
I think this is not a smart question and is high probably due to that I am not reading enough. However, when I looked into receptions of Neoplatonism in popular culture of late 19th century, I found that most of them were about Iamblichus, as we have in the novel Zanoni, or the French catholic decadents, I think it should be through the martinism. I am not actually looking for receptions which were correct according to nowaday's research but only browse on interesting stuffs and old stereotypes, like they were formed in such way in their time for some reason. until now I think Leopardi's dialogue between porphyry and plotinus was the only famous one we have in popular culture? I wonder whether porphyry was normally considered to be non esoteric writer so more omitted.
