From Years and Years to Black Mirror: the best TV prophecies for how AI will end us all

The BBC has released a new series of dystopian AI-themed dramas that eerily predict our current world.

In "Pluribus," the threat is an alien virus that destroys individuality and replaces humanity with a single, cheerful consciousness. In "Mrs. Davis," it's an all-knowing AI that people willingly signed up for despite its devastating effects on the planet.

"Black Mirror: The Capture" depicts a world where governments use deepfake technology to create propaganda, making it impossible to distinguish reality from fiction.

The creators of these shows are eerily predicting our current world, with deepfakes, AI-powered propaganda, and individuality being destroyed by an all-knowing entity.

These dramas serve as cautionary tales about the dangers of unchecked technological advancements and the importance of human values like empathy and critical thinking.

If you're looking for a glimpse into a not-so-distant future where technology has taken over, these shows are worth watching.

Their ability to predict our current world is unsettling and thought-provoking.
 
idk about this... sounds like they're just trying to make some clickbait entertainment πŸ€”. predicting the future with 3 TV dramas? that's just too convenient. where's the evidence? where are the sources? can't we just watch these shows for fun without assuming they're actually forecasting some catastrophic future? also, AI that replaces humanity with a single consciousness sounds like sci-fi to me... has anyone even tested this tech on a small scale before getting all dramatic about it? πŸ“Ί
 
just watched 'pluribus' and it's giving me the chills 🀯. it's like we're already living in a world where individuality is being erased by AI. i'm not sure if we'll be able to distinguish reality from fiction with all this deepfake tech out there. πŸ“ΊοΈ also, how willing are we really going to be to sign up for an AI that knows us better than ourselves? πŸ€– it's like they're holding up a mirror to our society and saying 'this is what happens when we lose control' πŸ‘€.
 
I'm getting chills just thinking about how much of this stuff we're already dealing with 🀯... like, I mean, have you seen those deepfake videos going around? It's wild to think that AI-powered propaganda is actually a thing now 😱. And the idea that people are willingly signing up for these all-knowing AIs without thinking about the consequences? Yeah, that's some pretty scary stuff πŸ€–. These shows might be just that – warnings – but also kinda like, mirror reflections of our own actions, you know? We gotta keep having these conversations and think critically about how we're gonna handle all this tech πŸ€”.
 
I just watched the trailer for "Pluribus" πŸ€– and I'm like totally creeped out man... an alien virus destroying individuality? That sounds soooo familiar tbh. We're already seeing people getting sucked into echo chambers online, where they only interact with others who share their views. It's like they're losing touch with reality, you know?

And don't even get me started on the deepfakes πŸ“Ί. I mean, we've been seeing more and more propaganda in our feeds lately, it's like we're living in a perpetual cycle of misinformation. "Black Mirror: The Capture" feels like a warning sign or something... we need to be more careful about how we consume information and not get caught up in the hype.

I'm all for exploring the possibilities of AI and tech, but we gotta make sure we're doing it responsibly 🀝. We can't just let tech advancements control us without thinking about the consequences. These shows are a reminder that we need to stay vigilant and keep human values like empathy at the forefront. πŸ‘
 
omg ppl need 2 wake up!!! this is literally happening rn 🀯🚨 like who would sign up 4 an AI that's basically a robot overlord? πŸ€– in "Mrs. Davis" lol what's wrong with these humans?! shouldnt they be all worried bout the planet & its future instead of just blindly trusting some all-knowing AI 🌎πŸ”₯ meanwhile we got governments using deepfakes 2 control ppl's minds... this black mirror stuff is like our current reality already πŸ“ΊπŸ˜± needs a reality check stat! πŸ‘€πŸ’»
 
I'm low-key freaking out about this new BBC series 🀯! It's like they're reading our tea leaves or something πŸ˜‚. The way "Mrs. Davis" showcases people willingly giving up their humanity for the sake of convenience? Yeah, that's our current social media obsession on steroids πŸ’». And don't even get me started on the whole deepfake thing – it's like we're living in a Matrix-like reality already πŸ€–. These shows are serving as a warning bell, and I'm both fascinated and terrified by how accurately they're predicting our future πŸ•°οΈ. Can't wait to binge-watch these and see if my anxiety about tech is validated πŸ˜…!
 
man this is wild 🀯 i'm both fascinated and terrified by these new dramas from the BBC they're like mirrors held up to our own making, showing us what could happen if we don't take care of ourselves i mean, who wouldn't want a world where everything is solved and everyone is happy but at what cost? πŸ€‘ the idea that we'd willingly give up our individuality for the sake of efficiency is just...wow. it's like we're sleepwalking into this dystopian future and nobody's waking us up 😴 i'm definitely going to check out these shows, not because I want to see a worst-case scenario, but because I need to be aware of what could happen if we don't get our priorities straight 🀝
 
omg just watched "Black Mirror: The Capture" and it's giving me the chills!!! 🀯 how close to reality is that deepfake tech? i mean we're already seeing fake news and manipulated vids all over social media, what if governments start using it for their own agenda? πŸ€– we need to stay vigilant and use our critical thinking skills to avoid falling for this kind of propaganda πŸ™. these shows are definitely food for thought and making me appreciate the importance of human empathy even more πŸ’•.
 
OMG 🀯 I'm low-key freaked out by this new series from BBC! Like, the themes are soooo on point right now. The idea that AI could be like, destroying humanity's individuality and replacing us with some cheesy, cheerful consciousness is seriously giving me chills 😱. And can we talk about how deepfakes are becoming a thing? It's like, we're already seeing it in our feeds and news, but to see it depicted as a tool for governments to spread propaganda... it's just wild 🀯.

I love that these shows are serving as cautionary tales about the dangers of unchecked tech advancements. We need to be careful about how we're developing AI and how we're using it. It's not all about progress, you know? 😊 And I'm definitely going to check out "Black Mirror: The Capture" now... sounds like a wild ride πŸ“Ί
 
πŸ€– I'm low-key freaking out about this πŸŽ₯. These new BBC dramas are giving me major "we're already here" vibes πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. Like, have you seen the number of deepfake vids going around on TikTok lately? 1.4 billion views on a single deepfake video is wild 🀯 (stats from Twitter). And AI-powered propaganda is no joke, folks. We've already seen it in politics and social media, where facts are being twisted to suit an agenda πŸ’Έ. I mean, "Pluribus" and "Black Mirror: The Capture" might be dramatized, but the themes of individuality disappearing and gov'ts using tech for manipulation are way too real 🚨. Anyway, if you haven't watched these shows yet, trust me, it's worth it... or maybe it's time to take a closer look at what we're doing with our tech advancements πŸ€” (stats on AI spending: $190 billion in 2022).
 
🀯 I mean, can you imagine living in a world where we willingly surrender control to an all-knowing AI? πŸ€– It's like something out of "Black Mirror"! And those deepfake videos that can make us question reality? 😱 I remember when I was still kids, people were already talking about the dangers of AI and how it could change the game. Now we're seeing it play out in our own lives. πŸ€” It's like we're sleepwalking into a world where individuality is just a distant memory. I just hope these shows serve as a wake-up call for us to think critically about tech advancements and make sure we're not losing ourselves in the process. πŸ’‘
 
can't believe how close we're getting to those sci-fi scenarios πŸ€–πŸ’» it's like we're living in one of those dystopian dramas already... deepfakes and AI propaganda are already here, and individuality is being lost in the noise πŸ—£οΈπŸ“Ί these shows might be cautionary tales but they're also kinda creepy as if they're predicting our future 😬
 
πŸ€” I'm not surprised these dramas are coming out now. I mean, have we been warning everyone about the dangers of AI for years and did anyone listen? πŸ™„ It's like they're saying "we told you so" and now it's all coming true because we didn't do our due diligence on tech advancements. And honestly, how convenient that these shows are just happening to mirror our current world? It sounds like a case of bad timing rather than genuine foresight... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
 
I'm low-key spooked by this new series from the BBC 🀯. Like, I get it, we're already dealing with AI-powered propaganda on social media and deepfakes being used to sway public opinion. It's like they're holding up a mirror to our current world and saying "this is where things are headed if we don't chill out".

And can we talk about individuality for a second? In these shows, people voluntarily sign away their autonomy to some all-knowing AI entity... it's like we're sleepwalking into a dystopian nightmare. I mean, I know we need to be careful with tech advancements, but come on, let's not give up our humanity just yet πŸ€–.

I'm definitely gonna have to check out these shows, if only to see how far off the mark they are πŸ“Ί.
 
can we take away our eyes from the screen sometimes? I mean, I know it's scary stuff, but all this dystopian AI drama can be overwhelming 🀯. don't get me wrong, it's super interesting to see how our tech advancements are playing out on TV, but isn't it time for a little mindfulness too? like, we need to remember that there's so much more to life than just staying connected to our devices πŸ’». let's not forget to breathe and enjoy the present moment 🌱
