There are big problems with social media, but age verification and social media bans are not the answer. They'd be a cure that's worse than the disease, but they're not even a cure. This article by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social points out the privacy nightmares. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We spent long time studying the question "does training data filtering help prevent generative models from generating unwanted content?" TL;DR: Nope. In some cases it slightly increases difficulty but not enough to prevent even average users from finding ways to create what they want.

I *am* pursuing an advanced degree in human-computer interaction and we have research that shows that LLMs have a homogenizing effect on human creativity, can reduce critical thinking skills, and are particularly dangerous when their operator lacks the expertise to catch their hallucinations.

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models. Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.
