Not only are they leading the AI revolution, but consumer AI app design follows the same principles as the screen-time-maximization apps.

Skinner box design, pull a lever and get an answer (or an app, or a song, or a poem, or a research paper).

A common complaint amongst colleagues is that they aren't able to stop "checking on their agents" after hours. This stuff is just as addictive as the rest of the consumer apps eating up all of our time and attention.
