I'm not completely shocked, it just kinda surprised me when I looked at the TV in the Goodwill bins and it had an ad for something called "CareerPath Accelerator" and the caption was, "Powered by AI, led by humans" with a picture of a woman that was obviously AI. I'm not sure what they were trying to prove by saying it is "led by humans".
Of course this AI stuff is going to be spread out to every place and after a while more and more people will begin to normalize AI (they already are) but I'm not doing that. I absolutely despise that stuff ohh my GOD.
My mom kept telling me that I should just get something since it will all be put into a landfill if it isn't bought, but I'm not sure if that's true. Probably is.
It makes it worse that Goodwill has become overpriced. I'm not sure that I want to shop there anymore :/ Besides, there's other thrift stores around me, and antique stores usually have cool things.
It felt gross to even be in that place, so I just followed my mom around the whole time. I don't really need anything anyway because I have too much stuff

Gross, i hate how hard companies try to "humanize AI". At this point though, most of the things that are sold to us will end up in a landfill (whether we buy or not) thanks to consumerism and capitalism combined. The best we could do is reuse, repurpose things we already have and share them with those around us. :/

Tbh I stopped going to good will after awhile because of that, everything has just.. started getting kinda dystopian like I guess? everything being expensive n such.. I mean heck yeah there's other antique stores, I like going to local places that sell stuff for cheap unlike goodwill !
