We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?
I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)
You may be on to something, and it goes triple for "chatbots are at least as sapient as mere human computer meat puppets" hype believers too.
"Keep repeating variations of the given data set until the recipient approves of the output" is just a computerized version of an animal doing a behavior to receive a reward, techbro hype aside.

The usual solipsistic tactic is to denigrate human intelligence to make the chatbot/virtual waifus feel more real by comparison if he squints his eyes and wishes really hard.
