Closing Thoughts

Scrolling through Reddit every day reveals an interesting phenomenon:

In news headlines, AI is "disruption," "revolution," "game-changing";

On Reddit, AI is "boss made another demand," "the interviewer was a bot," "it crashed yesterday."

Both narratives are happening simultaneously.

We trust the Reddit version more — because it's voted on by people living on the front lines of technology.
