00:00We are seeing an extraordinary level of cognitive decline even in the last 10 years and particularly
00:06related to short-form video consumption. So yes it's seductive but is it good for you? What I
00:13worry about is the seductiveness of outsourcing these kinds of decisions and administrative tasks
00:20in a world where those tasks have become increasingly arduous. Like cancelling a
00:25subscription should not take an hour. It never used to. They've become increasingly arduous these
00:32kinds of low-key administrative tasks is what is being referred to online as the annoyance economy.
00:38So the seductiveness of an AI agent that can kind of take back some time I can see why that's
00:46desirable. My concern always is the cognitive impact. Like what is the cognitive impact in
00:52outsourcing decision-making and outsourcing mental labour?
