What an insightful, educational post this is! I learn so much about what is REALLY going on in this world from your articles. Being from an older generation than you (and not being around younger generations like you as a college professor), I had no idea of these things. Thank you for these warnings and knowledge of society most of us don’t even think about .

Not posting photos of my kids online always made me feel like a Luddite, or that I was withholding them from the friends and family who wanted to see them. Though AI wasn't in view when I stopped putting their pictures out there, it does feel good to be vindicated by the advance of tech.

You were right. I was wrong.

It still freaks me out that my iPhone knows that the baby photos are the same person as the now 7th grader.

I have a strong sense that Luddite is rapidly losing its pejorative connotations.
