Neither X nor AI is particularly relevant to the average person, British or not, unless they're terminally online and/or the kind of person to write unhinged nonsense on LinkedIn.

Sure quite a few people might use ChatGPT or whatever sometimes, but they use Excel too and they're probably not especially "interested" in that either.

I wonder if the same trend is happening for younger age groups as well. I was surprised at my two nephews scrolling X yesterday reading memes after dinner. They're 14 and 16 and I guess deeply in the "gamers" culture? They shared some of them with me and I wasn't into the edge-lord stuff, but they insist that it's just ironic usage.

Much like every generation, I'm likely just not hip enough to understand the youth.

I signed up and it's a breath of fresh air without the artificially promoted toxic posts showing up in my feed.

the set of people interested in AI seems to be quite specific: techno-optimists, fad-seeking "entrepreneurs", people who can get with low-quality outputs.
