I misplaced the following thread in the Debates forum and was..."kindly" advised to "take it to the culture forum" so here it is:
Hello everyone.
I know this has been out a while, but I just watched it with 51 Generation Z teenagers. After it was over, there was quite a discussion. It remained civil, and several of the teenagers decided to completely remove all their social media accounts. Others proclaimed they will never read the "news" the same way.
For an experiment, I asked those who held strong conservative views and those who held strong liberal views to simply Google "climate change is..." Those with strong conservative views quickly came up with loads of links to support their already preconceived notions, while the ones holding strong liberal views quickly came up with totally different links to support their own views.
There are some really alarming trends in social networking with the growth and development of artificial intelligence.
If you have seen this program, please share your views.
Thanks in advance.
PS: This thread is about the program, and the ability of Big Tech to cause subtle changes in human behavior through advertising.
