Which should we trust the most between influencers and professionals? In this present generation where we are in, none of the above can be trusted. We are living at a time that is very interesting. These days, being an influencer means a lot.
It means you have a large amount of followership and people are following you. So even if you spew out something that is stupid, people can swallow the vomit. Even if you say something that is meaningful, the post can be so dried up of meaningful comments.
So it goes beyond being an influencer. Even the so-called people that we thought are professionals, a lot of them know next to nothing. In fact, they don't even know anything.
They too, they chase clouts. And where they are sourcing their information and their data from are full of lies. Some are even genetically engineered.
When I am saying that, I mean there are some of these professionals that we think that they are actually professional, whereas it is one or two agencies that is sponsoring them and giving them all these wrong statistics and data in order for them to sound as if they are larger than life or they know all this and know that, whereas they know next to nothing.
Imagine someone online with many followership and is sharing medical advice and we all thought that the person was a professional, only to later find out that the person has been gleaning content from ChatGPT and other AIs, stringing them together and making a complete medical diagnosis with it.
And we have all trusted him to the point that we now subscribed to or give advice on the best thing to do in a particular thing, only to find out that that thing didn't later work for her.
And when he was questioned, we found out that he wasn't even a medical person in the first place. But here we are believing them. So the present generation has messed up a lot of things.
When I say messed up, I mean they have blotted the line between influencers and professional. Back in the days, influencers have their place and they know what they should dabble into and what they shouldn't. Influencers are mostly found in Hollywood streets or TV stars, artists, musicians, and stuff like that.
Professionals are known to stand by data analysis, theorems that are real and they have been proven with time. But now even the most respected professional in one way or the other relies on AI to finish his work or does not even believe his students or the students are not even coming up with much more better, bigger idea than before. Therefore, they have no tangible thing they can do for themselves.
This kind of a thing has been going on for a few years now and we are seeing a lot of rising of people who don't even know anything. They can't write down properly and they can't assimilate or comprehend things properly. The only thing they understand is the world of influence and the world of popularity, which is very bad.
A person can be extremely good at communicating information without being a qualified person. After watching up to 10 YouTube videos about fixing cars, it might come to surprise that still, whenever I have a problem with my car, it does not solve any problem. Because why? These guys are just influencers.
They just have it, give a random statement about it and let you battle with the reality of things. Whereas a professional like a mechanic will surely give you an advice that can solve the problem. Another thing we get wrong is large followership.
Large followership doesn't always mean financial professional. Algorithms don't even care if the information is correct or not. So you don't just follow algorithms.
Sometimes algorithms are full of lies and they are just nothing to write home about.
