Answer 1

Here are some ideas to help you with this questions:

1. think of how there are AI influencers on social media with crazy amounts of following, this can dehumanize as it can indicate that AI and human power/output is equal or AI may be greater
2. recent article on how an influencer booked out a room in a studio to show people that they were riding a private jet. they don't have the capacity / reality to afford or live in that style, but that's what they promote, so those who don't live the same reality are beneath them
3. social media can boosting ego but also deflating it
4. impacts of cyber bullying
5. algorithms of social media code everything to your response, and you are treated like a robot
