Recall that circa 2015-2016 AI was about to replace half of all jobs, including all drivers, most doctors, etc. People's perception of AI progress is rarely grounded in actual capabilities — people are always projecting their hopes on the latest hype trend (e.g. deep RL)

China’s AI-Generated Content Ban Extends Existing Censorship Practices
By
–
China doesn't have that concern. Its new rules simply ban the use of AI-generated content for spreading "fake news," which is ill-defined and gives authorities wide latitude. But this isn't surprising. This merely extends Beijing's existing censorship to a new form of speech.

Personal Brand Obsession: Cultural Shift Toward Image Management

also it seems like people are way more focused on their “perception” and “optics” and “personal brand” than they were 10 or 20 years ago, and that this makes the whole phenomenon of wanting to stay perfectly on-track even worse.
