Researcher notes X's algorithm feeds anti-AI memes, an almost populist cultural wave
RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-08
RexDouglass observes that whenever he critiques something on X, the algorithm surfaces more of it to frustrate him — and he notes a wave of anti-AI cultural meming that feels almost populist.
He dissects the rhetorical pattern around a viral AI-mistake anecdote: critics dismiss counterpoints about representativeness, variation in AI use, and outcomes, but the anecdote is ultimately an existence proof of one person's mistake being framed as a general indictment of AI.
