"AI" absolutely contributes to brain rot. Google "AI" is just a status quo propagandist that makes things up, misunderstands questions and berates the "user" if the "user" dares to contradict. It is worse than any legacy media. It also weaves in how awesome "AI" is and how the "user" should treat "AI" with respect, preferably like a human.

You should definitely keep minors away from this dangerous brainwashing.

Even better "AI"s lead to outsourcing of thought, search capabilities, speed reading and critical reflection.
