Comment on Won’t Somebody Please Think Of Banning The British Children! by Timothy McNerney

Two things: 1) Even if not foolproof, a UK social media ban for teens will avoid more heartbreak and save more lives than the status quo. 2) Will this be "always fighting the last war," or will teens also be banned from using AI chatbots too? Me, I never got addicted to Facebook, but I am clearly addicted to AI, even when my AI-assisted research is very quite educational. Fortunately, if I don't pay for it, my AI addiction is throttled. Maybe there should be required "AI usage" classes that teach youngsters how skeptical they should be, before they are allowed to use AI... No, it's not your friend. No, just because it sounds so confident, doesn't mean you should believe it. Yes, you should challenge everything it says.
