What it does remind me of is the story of a person, who were following GPS instructions religiously[1]. The clickbait is a thing, but part of it may be some level of societal concern that a good chunk of society will listen if you tell it what to do.

Part of me rationalizes it as 'not exactly a discovery', which on its own was not a big issue before we were as connected as we, apparently, are ( even if I would argue that the connection is very ephemeral in nature ). I am still personally working through it, but at which point is the individual actually responsible?

I am not saying this lightly. I am not super pro-corporate, but the other end of this rope is not exactly fun times either. Where is the balance?

So tired. None of these are newsworthy. There were plenty of people making stupid decisions (wether about their health or anything else in their lives) before AI existed, and there will be plenty of people making stupid decisions while AI exists as well.

Not in the least, and I haven't seen many of them. Its good remind ourselves of the great diversity of minds among humans.
