We have become less social as a result of social media, when I walk outside almost every single person has earbuds or headphones in, and people won't even look at me when I walk past, let alone say hi or anything. There's just too much going on, people are drained by these opaque algorithms that does not care about us, created by people who do not care about us.

How do LLM's assist us in this regard? It creates more content, but it's not even made by anyone, whilst guzzling up resources that we actually need (this applies to physical things like water as well as our own attention/time).

It feels like technology gets put out to the world and then humanity gets dragged "forward" by it, when there's nothing inherently wrong with resisting change if the current evidence points towards further problems.
