The problem with this reporting? It’s making one point (yes skill lag and less human practice) repeatedly but never mentions the elephants in the room. Why are people isolated, exhausted and turning to AI? Patriarchal capitalists exploiting workers? It’s never laziness.
@hagenblix.bsky.socialMost writing about AI continues to be terrible.
The reality?
20% of boys 12-16 know someone who's "dating" an AI. Sounds bad until you realize that's a pretty small number then? 80% don't even know anyone. At most 1 in 5 class rooms have a person who's maybe dating an AI in them.
