You used ChatGPT for this very post to discuss about creativity, AI is not exactly a collaborative partner nor does it empower individuals, people have become intellectually and physically weaker since the COVID-19 incident. Your overreliance on LLM slopbots is proof that you'd let an AI do 100% of the work for you, offloading without even thinking for yourself.
If you've been browsing through YouTube or TikTok long enough, you'll realize that people use AI to generate all of their slop content on their channel, since they merely see it as a tool to generate revenue, an easy way to make money without doing anything, not as a tool to learn or produce insightful content. Those generated songs, podcasts, so-called “interviews” of famous people that were never actually present to begin with, are unlistenable. You're a masochist if you'd admit to enjoy it. The flood of AI content hinders further progress in all areas.

I mostly agree with you (except for obesity, I'd be willing to shorten my lifespan if the world continues to be so shit, and I wonder what it's like to be extremely fat, systematically dominated by fast food corporations and ultraprocessed foods), it's literally a cultural suicide of what made us human in the first place. We're so glued to our devices that we can't even imagine tossing them away, we fear getting completely rid of them, we still need them for phone contacts, bank accounts, to check for e-mail, to be up-to-date on the news, to read the map, translation, look up words, music, etc. As for nostalgia, the term "retroslop" got coined due to zoomers/alphas trying to recreate non-existent nostalgia and oldschool personalities that are misleading, a patronizing version that could be seen as a mockery of old internet culture.
