We have this new drug that makes your kids less lonely as it makes them talk to an imaginary friend. It will also make them do their homework more efficiently. Unfortunately, we don’t know yet whether it has any side effects and it could be addictive. So, we give it away for free to millions of kids and students so that you can find out.
That’s roughly how #AI & tech companies treat our children. It’s one big experiment with making addictive being the business model.
