Suddenly AI isn&#39;t an existential threat or a labor displacement machine. It&#39;s a &quot;lifestyle accessory,&quot; a &quot;creative tool,&quot; and your new girly best friend.</p><p> </p><p>Kat Tenbarge of Spitfire News joins me to expose the AI &quot;Hot Girl Economy&quot; and how tech giants are using aesthetic trends to Trojan-horse AI into our daily lives. We cover everything from viral Studio Ghibli filters and the AI puppy photo craze, to how startups like Higgsfield are targeting fashion influencers. </p><p> </p><p>We discuss what this &quot;AI girly pop era&quot; is designed to distract you from: extreme labor displacement, massive energy consumption, and the tech industry becoming increasingly intertwined with the US War Machine.</p><p>SUPPORT POWER USER </p><p>💖 Patreon (bonus episodes, monthly Q&amp;As, livestreams): ⁠<a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/taylorlorenz"><u>https://www.patreon.com/cw/taylorlorenz</u></a>    </p><p>📬 User Mag Substack: <a href="https://usermag.co"><u>https://usermag.co</u></a>  </p><p>🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts </p><p>⭐ Please rate and review — it genuinely helps the show get discovered!!!</p><p>#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews #ChatGPT #OpenAI #GoogleGemini #WomenInTech #HotGirlEconomy #KatTenbarge #TechIndustry #Pinkwashing #SocialMediaTrends </p><p><br></p>
