Gen Alpha was entirely raised on smartphones and social media, and we’re still not even close to knowing the full extent of the long-term damage that has done.
Starting with Gen Bravo Beta, entire generations will be raised in a world that has normalized cognitive surrender to AI.
Edit: Wikipedia lists Gen B as Generation Beta, which seems kind of unfortunate. I’ll just call it Gen B moving forward.
Pretty much the Brave New World future, but Huxley didn’t know about AI. He thought it would just be easy access to media and an (inevitably) corrupt and stupid government.
I guess we do get to choose the form of our great destroyer. Would have preferred the marshmallow man to be honest.
Studies have been done that it can be reversed and cogniviry is dorment, but requires a few weeks of “cold turkey”.
Sorry, I wish I could give more but I’m kind of drunk and can’t be bothered finding papers outside the stupid academia paywall shit.
But the main concern is actually the culture. Like, you can get off heroin, but not if heroin is the norm for everyone around you in your immediate social groups. Then after that, obviously the catch up of a 13 or 14 year old mind already outside of the peak of learning or “impressionable” period typically under 7. E.g. it’s easier to teach a child two languages than a teen or adultnfor that reason.
Gonna be a hell of a time to be the elderly generation needing community assistance from the younger generation.
Controversial, but I much prefer suicide happy at 75 than make it to 85-90 in a situation worse than current aged care
yeah im on the last leg before retirement and sitting on the side of the road because cognition apparently is not much wanted right now and will likely be in the group of eledery you mention when the time comes. Honestly from what I have seen I much rather have a nice pill to put me to sleep than go through a certain amount of cognitive decline combined with physical decline.
That might be true for someone whose brain matured in a world without AI, those who graduated high school and/or college without ever using an LLM, but that’s not whom I was referring to.
Nah, these are Gen A studies and pre school. But it’s giving insight into tailend Z. Also giving insight to older generations failing in attention-span and critical thought/attention. Like self-induced cognitive stagnation. Oversaturation of mental disorder diagnosis due to their broadening grey area, but sleep deprivation, favouring dopamine over the other “happy” releases. Especially in males that have less biological releases of oxytocin.
Ugh, that didn’t even make sense to me reading it back. I’ll try find a public breakdown of one but it means I gotta… deeo hreath… search engine “scientific sources”…
Edit: Nope. Clickticles of opinionated bullshit and one public paper that’s had 138 citations in under a year. Which would be great if academia worked that well in its sharing of knowledge, but it’s suspiciously too many.
I’m talking about the long-term effects of AI on Gen B.
As in members of future generations who will eventually spend their entire lives cognitively surrendered to AI, not just a portion of their later life.
Absent a time machine, there literally cannot be studies on that yet.

Oh, so like extra fucked than currently? Yeah, that makes sense and lines up with what’s currently being observed now—with scientific model, no less.
Here’s the best part; climate change is only just now scratching its way in years and years after it was identified as inevitable.
Good times ahead.
