Indeed. My comment about Google Maps (and Waze, etc.) exacerbating Alzheimer's was mostly in jest and an exaggeration, but I'm absolutely certain that there is a statistically significant proportion of society whose current overuse of "AI" chatbots and short video consumption will result in cognitive deterioration if it continues at their current rate.

To be clear, I'm not implying that usage of LLMs or viewing potentially unlimited video shorts is necessarily bad, nor could I guess the threshold from which doing these things becomes cognitively damaging in the long term. All I'm saying is that such a threshold exists and some people in society are surpassing it.
