Is it just me, or are people becoming more prudish? (feddit.org)

Pornography restrictions being codified into law, adult art being restricted from most Lemmy instances, Tarot readers blotting out the nudity on their cards on Reddit.

I'm watching the Magicians, on Amazon, and I use subtitles. All the curse words are purposefully filled in with random letters, so as not to offend the reader.

What's up with all the prudishness? Can people knock it off, please?

People have vaginas. And titties. And dicks. And asses. They swear. They drink. They fuck. Why is this generation afraid of that? Acknowledging these things isn't going to increase your chances of being sexually violated. So, what's the deal?

Google AI gave me a summary that other people across the Internet are noticing the same pattern. It said that, because of the massive amount of open availability, people are feeling desensitized and disconnected. As if adult content has lost all meaning. Mostly, because consumerism has placed it everywhere, without any connection or romantic context. That people are actively avoiding it, because it feels empty.

Depending on how you word a question ai will give you totally opposite answers

AIs are not just unreliable they were trained by stealing from everyone. Please don’t spread their nonsense. Even better to not use them at all.

It's Google. The AI is included. I headed my comment with an acknowledgement that it was an AI summary for a reason.

Nothing forces you to use Google or even read the AI summary. You could have skipped past and read the links to form an opinion yourself, but instead you consciously chose to regurgitate what it said.
