I think AI is going to ramp up the level of distraction people are experiencing on a daily basis.
It's going to increase the information overload, preventing people from doing "deep work."
Imagine trying to digest 20 YT videos in a matter of minutes. With AI, people will attempt it.
Social media was Distraction and Overload 1.0
Add in AI and it's going to be Distraction and Overload 2.0.
I also think entire industries will be redefined and likely, become more commoditized...
Fiction writing is the first thing that comes to mind. I've been wanting to write a fiction book for some time now, but that idea of putting my heart and soul into something (likely a multi-month/year project) that likely will be immersed in a pool of AI written garbage created in days, is disheartening.
While I don't have "anxiety" about AI, I do fear humans will de-evolve because of it, much like humans de-evolved when people got smartphones. Tools can be abused, especially when most people lack emotional intelligence and basic discipline. The average adult fails at the marshmallow experiment, and one look at their waistlines is an utter reflection of that failure.
