Evolution of not caring
Dialogue
Overview
This is a two-panel satirical meme. The top panel shows a swimming pool scene: an adult woman labeled 'TECH COMPANIES' happily holds a smiling little girl labeled 'ADDING AI TO EVERYTHING', while a second child labeled 'USER EXPERIENCE' is half-drowning, distressed and ignored in the pool water next to them. The bottom panel shows the view under the pool surface, where a skeleton sitting on a folding chair at the pool floor is labeled 'PRIVACY', representing that privacy is completely dead, abandoned and forgotten. The joke criticizes how tech companies prioritize rushing to add AI features to all products, neglect user experience quality, and entirely disregard user privacy in the process.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit via RSS, with the original posted title 'Evolution of not caring'. It is an edited remix of the widely used 'drowning pool kid with underwater skeleton' meme template, which is commonly used to highlight ignored, serious underlying problems while people focus on superficial positive priorities.
