.... probably?
I think there's a difference between "is it advancing too quickly" and "what should be done about it"
I don't think there's any sense in trying to limit technological progress... but I think people have to be wiser about how they engage with technology. I see young people glued to their phones who can't maintain focus for more than 5 seconds and I feel really terrible for them.... but is it technology's fault or is it their own?
I'm positive we couldn't limit progress even if we tried. I just wonder how many more consequences we're going to see.

Maybe I'm just being a boomer (even though I'm a millennial), but I do worry about what this is all doing to kids' brains. AI is not helping. I have some students who literally seem to have shut down their brains entirely, and give blank stares on even the simplest questions.
