Is there any intersection between rising use of artificial intelligence and the epidemic of self-diagnosed psychiatric illnesses, in particular among young people? Are those who regularly use AI assistants any more or less likely to decide they have gender dysphoria, disassociative identity, or other disorders that have been discussed on the pod? In general what is the relationship or impact, if any , on the rise of AI and the rise of trendy adoption of psychological disorders as a personality or affectation?
I have a question about gender stuff:
Red states (with the help of SCOTUS) have largely banned youth gender treatments, and Donald Trump is making them difficult to obtain even in blue states. Kinnon McKinnon has admitted in the New York Times that the number of detransitioners may be higher than the much-repeated 1% number, maybe as high as 10%. Sarah McBride has opined that trans activists have gone too far, too fast. Athletic organizations are banning male-bodied athletes, no matter how they identify, from women's sports. Is this a sign that gender ideology's day is over, or will its sun will rise again?
