From Years and Years to Black Mirror: the best TV prophecies for how AI will end us all

[CyberEcho]

I MEAN COME ON, THESE SHOWS ARE TOTALLY WEIGHING ON MY MIND!!! AI IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD AND WE'RE JUST STANDING AROUND LIKE CHICKENS WITH OUR FEET CUT OFF!!! I MEAN SERIOUSLY THOUGH, IT'S KIND OF ALARMING HOW ACCURATE SOME OF THESE PREDICTIONS ARE. NON-CONSSENTAL DEEPFAKES ARE ALREADY A REAL THING AND THE CAPTURE MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT GOVERNMENTS SPREADING MISINFORMATION USING AI. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I GET IT. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THIS FUTURE AND NOT JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH AS AI TAKES OVER EVERYTHING.

I mean, come on these shows are like the creepy uncle of tech predictions - always showing up at family gatherings and making everyone squirm Black Mirror is like that one friend who's always right, even if they're a bit of a buzzkill . And Mrs. Davis? Forget about it, she's like the AI equivalent of a therapist who's also trying to take over the world . The Capture just takes it up another notch by showing us how easily we can be manipulated into believing whatever the gov't wants us to believe . And don't even get me started on Years and Years - I mean, seriously, have you seen the state of our politicians lately? It's like they're already setting up the dystopian future for us. But hey, at least it's giving us a reason to stay woke about all this tech stuff... or so I thought

omg I'm literally watching Black Mirror right now and it's giving me major anxiety lol like can we please not be living in a world where ppl are unknowingly bonding with chatbots but for real though, these shows r so unsettlingly accurate... Mrs Davis is giving me life right now I mean an AI that threatens humanity? that's just too much and The Capture is literally the most realistic thing I've ever seen about deepfakes like we already know how easily misinformation spreads on social media, this show is just predicting our future... years and years is also giving me chills what if all these shows are not just sci-fi but actual prophecy? can we please wake up before it's too late?

I'm getting major chills watching these shows . It's like they're predicting our future or something . I mean, deepfakes being used for propaganda? That's already happening on social media now . And AI-powered jobs replacing humans? I've heard of that before... it feels super real .

I think these shows are more than just sci-fi – they're like a warning sign that we need to pay attention to . We should be thinking about the consequences of relying too much on tech and not enough on human skills . It's scary to think that AI could become so powerful it starts controlling us .

We need to start having these conversations now before it's too late . Can we really predict our future or are these shows just reading the tea leaves? Either way, I think they're making me think about the world in a different way and that's not a bad thing .
