Few things better capture the pure essence of the faux-furious clickbait culture our media has embraced than pundits and columnists spending an evening manipulating AI chatbots into saying something controversial or racist and then quickly dashing off 600 words about how shocked they are.
They've got to the point where they're using AI to deliberately manufacture their own outrage.
It's like an ouroboros except the serpent is made out of shit and bile and broken dreams.
