What am I gonna do, not look at content?

Maybe I missed the /s, but why do we have to spend our time "looking at content" if it's just full of AI slop?

Alternatives are boring, expensive, or require effort.

If our hormonal reward systems are so fried that low-effort staring at a screen has become the most rewarding thing to do with our time, then the content industry has played us like a fiddle.

Look around on a train sometime at what people are doing.

Understood. Admittedly I'm as guilty as anybody else, but lately I'm trying to take more time away from digital media to spend face-to-face time with people, look at real scenery, and practice physical hobbies.
