It may be one factor. Cell phones especially in school are probably creating too many hormone disruptions. Most foods are toxic, extremely low quality and designed to cause addictions. The air in many places is toxic. Plastics everywhere. Polyfluoroalkyl substances are everywhere. People are on a lot of off-label prescriptions and we still don't fully understand what some of them do to a fetus. Unsocial media and politics is everywhere making us the most divided we have ever been. Too many three letter agencies taking bribes, some being government sanctioned at multiple levels. Global weather changes may be impacting people indirectly. Birth rates are dropping, sperm counts are dropping. I could probably go on listing more crap for a while but I still don't know what the character limit is but I can't blame all of that on AI.

AI will probably screw us up much like the way social media algorithms screwed us up, but exponentially greater once it reaches critical mass as it mimics human behavior and hacks our brains in ways social media algorithms could not.

The great filter is just ahead. [1]
