The exaggerated rhetoric, product flaws, and societal concerns surrounding artificial intelligence in the tech industry are being targeted with humor by artists and comedians from diverse backgrounds.

A Wave of Humor Against AI Rhetoric

Comedians are producing social media sketches, songs, and humor columns against sectoral narratives that artificial technology is inevitable and omnipotent.

Through these works, the elements threatening society and the environment by tech giants, as well as the absurd aspects of the products, are brought to light.

Public Anxieties and Research Findings

Recent public opinion polls reveal that a large segment of society is concerned that artificial intelligence will reduce job opportunities and fundamentally change lifestyles.

While a very small fraction of Americans support the construction of data centers in their local areas, this situation clearly demonstrates the public's distant approach to technology.

Parodies of Product Flaws and User Experience

Various comedians troll virtual interview systems like AI-based doctors and human resources bots, making fun of the logical loopholes in the systems.

Other artists protest tech companies' efforts to make users addicted to new features through parodies and fake ads hung in subway stations.
