BBC 6분영어의 금주 주제인 Is social media dead?은 개략적으로 다음의 개요를 갖고 있습니다.
가장 좋아하는 소셜 미디어 플랫폼은 무엇인가요? 3~4년 전만큼 자주 사용하고 계신가요? 생성형 AI의 등장으로 많은 소셜 미디어 사용자들이 자신과 전혀 공감되지 않는 콘텐츠로 가득 찬 피드를 마주하고 있습니다. 소셜 미디어는 하향세를 타고 있을까요? 닐과 피파가 이에 대해 논의하며 새로운 어휘도 알려드립니다.

(What is your favourite social media platform? Do you still use it as much as you did three or four years ago? With the rise of generative AI, many social media users are finding their feeds cluttered with content that they feel no real connection with. Is social media on a downward spiral? Neil and Pippa discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.)
