> Maybe the volume of AI content will finally get people to advocate for media awareness training, rather than the current strat of trying to scold platforms into only showing the manipulative content they side with.

Not gonna happen. The best outcome is there's an organic impulse to recoil in horror to the flood of AI content, which overrides normal moral considerations and causes mobs to go burn down some datacenters (or support politicians who'd do something equally brash).

What's not going to happen is the majority gets brain-rotted for a decade and then somehow reforms because they had a couple hours of "media awareness training."
