User: someone who uses a piece of software as a tool. they know what they are doing with the software
consumer : a pig at a trough , barely knows they are alive and sucking up whatever is presented before them.
Basically, in this context, these stupid ads turned technology from actual tools that have things you can consider and contrast to choose to suit your needs to a fashion statement and accepted the idea that you don’t know what you want, just consume this product because it’s fashionable. you’re too stupid to know how many gigabytes of storage it has , because you’re too dumb.

So what’s the word for everything is made for consumers instead of users?
if it’s not enshittification, what is it? What is the word that I need to communicate? Can you help, or do you just enjoy calling people stupid?

- Comment on F dieting! 20 hours ago:
trying to lose weight is frustrating. I feel you.
Consider this : diet is the word that’s used to describe what an animal eats. “The cow’s diet consists mainly of grass”. No matter what you eat, you are following a diet. You have the choice to make that diet consist of junk food, too much food, or slip by the little cracks that come up that add just a bit, just a bit , just a bit, until they add up to over the calories you need in a day, which in turn, keeps you out of shape.
Being conscious of what you eat and making adjustments so that your diet is better, or at least, less calories will make long term improvements to your form and health, and the positive feedback loop, once established, will make your choices easier to make. It will still be difficult.

Is it losing control of what your technology does? Because that’s where it starts, you get a blind buy of technology as a fashion statement, and that technology says “forget all the details, that’s beyond you”.

- Comment on Why are children always portrayed as the epitome of "innocence", when a lot of kids are evil af and bully their peers, and name-calling runs rampant in schools? 3 days ago:
Kids are not good or bad, they’re asshole because they don’t know better.
Kinda. They want to do what they want, and need to know where the boundaries are. so they push on the edges of the boundaries.
It’s quite tiring.

They even game me a refund after I bought KOTOR 1 without realising it was an EA game, saying I wanted to get a refund because I was boycotting EA.
I did comply with the less than an hour playtime for refunds, so they might have given it regardless, but it’s nice to know they accept refunds labelled as boycotts.

Every single fucking piece of AI intelletualism seems to be :
We took everything that people have made and turned it into a statistical model. We are outraged that it’s accuracy is similar to an average person, sometimes better and sometimes worse based on the weighting of the data we fed it.
Surprised pikachu face.
It’s trying to find the most statistically likely response to your inputs. if it thinks the situation will statistically lead to whatever response/behaviour, it will do it.
“Why does ‘pretty woman’ come up with only white women?” because the data set human beings created or fed into it had a disproportionate amount of images tagged of pretty white women and less pictures tagged of pretty black women. It’s the fucking data set, it’s a statistical , non deterministic, heavily biased machine. Of course it’s giving out biased BS.

are you telling me that human beings make shitty, unauthentic slop that’s worse than a shitty idiot that fed something resembling an idea that they couldn’t make because of their lack of musical capability? I’m shocked shocked at this!
Well not that shocked, since pop music has been recycling tin pan alley songs since the dawn of time.
