I’ve seen comments from people on Reddit, and yes, real people, not bots, and not just on Reddit, and I felt a little uncomfortable, they mentioned simulation theory, adding Elon Musk, some even idolized AI, considering humans to be garbage that should be in a landfill including real girls and friends, and they said it with ridicule or just like complete non-humans.

I don’t know much about it, but if you’ve seen it too and know what this phenomenon is, I’d be happy to know.

I didn’t even know what to write in the title of the post, so I chose what came to mind.

    If we assume that the number of such people has grown since the 2000s or 2010s, or were there many such people before?

      Quick facts:

      • Slavery only ended 1-2 centuries back.
      • Women didn’t have voting rights until the last century in the US.
      • Gay marriage wasn’t recognized anywhere until 2001.
      • We’ve had two unnecessary global wars, one with nukes going off.

      Yeah, I’d say humans haven’t been very human for a good while now.

        And not be a reductionist, there were several crusades by groups who follow the same god, but different prophets of said god.
