Yes, there's something about this that struck me as ageist.
There's kind of this odd implicit assumption, for instance, that liking an image means accepting it as genuine. It's entirely possible that people are liking something without regard to its artificiality. I'm sure a lot of them don't recognize it as AI, but some of them also don't care.
It also buries the later discussion where it's pointed out that older individuals are less susceptible to artificial verbal information.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are age trends in any of this — it cites stuff as such — but the way it's written is inappropriate in subtle ways.
There's plenty of fake on TikTok getting through to younger individuals. But older individuals are liking funny AI-generated pictures on Facebook? That we have to worry about in particular. Or at least that's the vibe.
