Unpopular opinion: you only hate chat gpt because it makes it harder to stack rank and discriminate against people.
So what everyone can write well now? great it's a tool! Just like moving faster because you drive a car.
The good news is you'll be easily able to hire for that writing job you need. The bad news is you won't be able to discriminate against candidates who are not as good with the written word.
Also, an obsession with the written word is a tenant of white supremacy [salute emoji]

Man, this probably hits really hard if you're fuckin stupid.
Can anyone elaborate on gps panic please? What happened when it became available?
Personally i’ve never heard of a moral panic over GPS, though if pressed I could manufacture some. So that one seems like something dreamed up by the author. Would love to be proven wrong!
Ooh, I know! I'd not exactly call it a moral panic but there were people who were convinced that people would be driving off cliffs or getting lost in the mountains because they didn't have the skills to read a paper map properly. Wasn't very convincing, especially as if people are determined to be stupid enough to drive off a cliff without noticing they're going to find a way to do that even if there's a big sign in front of them saying "Cliff, do not drive off".
In much of the world online mapping services still aren't anywhere near the standard of a proper topological map and there's really no substitute for (say) an Ordnance Survey map if you're climbing in the Cuillins, but that's not the fault of GPS.
It's barely was existant. At least with Photoshop, you had the occasional outrage over some manipulated photos created in order to spread hate (anyone remembers the photo where someone photoshopped the heads of Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden onto Jewish people who wore big stars of Davids?) or create fake nudes, or the elitist oil painter that already had problems with other mediums just found yet another one to be snarky at something else besides of pencil drawings.
