Every time I see something like this I’m reminded of Plato recording Socrates’ whinging that books are destroying society and no one can remember anything anymore.
Damn smartphones, ruining society!
Damn internet, ruining society!
Damn computers, ruining society!
Damn VIDYA GAMES, ruining society!
Damn TV, ruining society!
Damn radio, ruining society!
Damn Newspapers, ruining society!
Damn 2 piece swimsuits, ruining society!
Damn books, ruining society!
Damn clay tablets, ruining society!
Damn language, ruining society!
Damn alphabet, ruining society!
Damn humans, ruining society!
Damn society, ruining society!
I’d say that’s more to do with dropping stigma leading to better/more reporting rather than smartphones being some major cause of mental health issues. I’m sure they do cause some issues, but probably not much more than any other vice

AI has the free time to study and be artistic. Not us. We must pay to exist.
What rent does the AI pay? Nothing.
No internet bill, no transportation bill, no phone bill, no food bill, no Healthcare/insurance bill.
AI also isn’t studying or being artistic. It has no real awareness of the concepts it’s seemingly learning, at least not yet. AI as of right now is basically just statistical analysis of human-made information and art and predictive modelling of how a human might respond to a given prompt.
AI as of right now
AI for the forseeable future
No need to mince words. Far too much of this terrible hype surrounding it is built on pure speculation of a future that we have no hard evidence is approaching. Just bold claims by people financially invested in selling the hype.
Someday, if it can sustain itself, it would need to pay for a living.
Right now, someone wants to have an AI. The person pays for it like a pet. But its too expensive, so it needs to give something in return.
We will see if it really benefited the energy costs and internet costs for those Companies who use intense amount of resources for AI.
Ahhh yes, the old “reading on paper is big brain individual, reading on phone is mindless.”
Same with “communicating over the internet isn’t real communication.”
I’m not saying that there aren’t problems with how much we’re communicating over the internet and how little we’re communicating in real life, but the vast majority of humans in history would have considered the ability to send text messages to someone on the other side of the world in less than a second to be reserved for the gods above.
