I think it’s the exact opposite. People never had the ability to communicate complex thoughts and emotions and memes filled the need perfectly.
The same with AI. People never knew as much as AI enabled them to know. Now they can access knowledge about any subject, instantly. They never applied the knowledge because they never had it in the first place.
You’re onto something with this. I wasn’t deficient in either case, but the complexity and time requirement of both was often a limiter to my interest in commencing down the path of either; the deeper expression of memes or those projects requiring deep knowledge and research prior to any progress that AI aids. This must be true for others. Scaling this to the population in general, I can see that it is likely opening doors for many on both fronts. Of course there’s a large swath of the population where these solutions offer no light to the dim. But to me, the added ease of pressing forward in expression and projects is welcomed. Caveats to everything, but that’s my take from the hip.
I agree. Its incredible memes are universally understood(if you are a netizen). Actually demonstrating how effective it is in communication.
Language evolves with culture and efficiency. Memes and emojis are the Internet's universal language and breaking normal geographical language barriers.
