“ People are sheep.”
********************

I’m thinking about having AI write an article on these Sheep-People.

I had to ask Grok to write a paragraph about "sheeple" who will follow any crowd:
Sheeple is a term often used to describe individuals who uncritically follow the crowd, adopting popular opinions, trends, behaviors, or beliefs simply because “everyone else is doing it.” Lacking independent thought or willingness to question authority and mainstream narratives, sheeple tend to move in lockstep with the herd—whether that means chasing viral fads, parroting talking points from media or influencers, complying with unpopular policies out of social pressure, or joining collective outrage without examining the facts. The label carries a sharp edge of contempt, implying not just conformity but a voluntary surrender of personal agency and critical reasoning, turning people into passive, directionless followers who can be easily led anywhere the dominant current flows—be it toward consumerism, political tribalism, moral panics, or even self-destructive ideologies. Critics argue this phenomenon becomes especially dangerous in times of propaganda, groupthink, or institutional capture, when the flock can be steered over cliffs while still convinced it is marching toward safety.

Hahahaha...not bad! (But I already knew what "sheeple" were...:)
