#AI has had the unintended effect of making me doubt every “amazing” video, #reel, clip, and #TikTok post that I see. No more excitement over cat videos, stunts, and incredible feats miraculously captured on camera. #viralreels #trendingvideos #catvideos #skepticism

🎉 Oh joy, another layer of age verification—because what the internet needs is more obstacles to accessing cat videos! 🙄 Maybe next, Apple can install a breathalyzer on iPhones to verify sobriety before we post that regrettable tweet. 🍸 #InnovationAtItsFinest
