Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 07, 2024

Kids become devoted to and influenced by comic book characters, athletes and pop starts that are actually totally different from their public image.

You know what’s even worse? Finding out that the influencer is really your mother.

Influenza. It’s spelled influenza. That’s really what it is. Even computers get viruses.

God forbid you should ask people to think for themselves. They might not vote GOP. (Fortunately states are correcting this problem by disenfranchising voters. Florida has removed over ten thousand legal voters from their registration lists.)

How do I know AI is not writing Brewster now??? oh no!!!!

Influencers are a plague, lower than a covid19 virus, they don’t deserve to be called human and should be eradicated. But there’s even worse: the influenced!

AI learned from the NYT….

An AI influencer is like a mutual fund in that it reflects a composite of a lot of different perspectives and approaches on similar issues.

Companies use to have to pay models and actors to promote their products. Now they gather some influencers together, send them on a trip, give them lots of free “product” and let the herd mentality take over.

I watch very little advertising. If I need something, I know I am smart enough to look for it. The very few things I “need but don’t know about” … I don’t need.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.

Where’s a real, live stranger when you need one??

It’s good thing I learned to make my own decision, but sometimes I need an influencer to talk me out of them.
