It's going to be conveniently forgotten, like the people that were screaming at people for not wearing masks outside months (years!) after we understood covid.

As a conflict averse society, we excuse people that indulge in these kinds of behaviors once they reach a critical mass. It's kind of like a conversion disorder.

Covid is a good analogy here. We went seemingly overnight to righteous indignation to cold and flu commercials advertising their products so you can go to work sick.

It's cool right now to dislike ai, and there are plenty of charlatans that are ready to harness that for whatever new outrage.

We live in such an information dense world that people will form very strong beliefs about things overnight, castigate those that don't agree with them, and then shed them just as fast when no longer conveniently held.
