And the title/concept seems mostly copied from this YouTube video from a mouth earlier: https://youtu.be/oYlcUbLAFmw?si=T1AIE4w49qF1u7ul

I think about that video quite often

I have no idea how she generated the text, but whether LLM or not, it isn't a recounting of direct experience. The author graduated high school in 2019 and never experienced the Internet of the 90s and doesn't remember pre-2006 because she was a toddler.

Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one who felt that. I think the author just learned the word panopticon.
