Amoureux d'une IA : l'addiction la plus dangereuse des ados n'a rien à voir avec la drogue
Une relation amoureuse est affaire de passion, mais aussi de compromis et d'efforts. Avec les compagnons virtuels que crée l'intelligence artificielle, c'en est fini des ombres au tableau : ces partenaires numériques sont toujours prêts à flatter et à écouter sans condition les jeunes qui sont de plus en plus nombreux à les utiliser. Alors que l’épidémie de solitude atteint des niveaux élevés chez les jeunes, certains se tournent vers la technologie pour combler le vide.

Amoureux d’une IA : les romances numériques transforment les attentes des adolescents

WIDE ANGLE: CAPITALISM’S PERFECT CHILD
In the second season of Severance, there’s an unexpected character: a child supervisor named Miss Huang, who matter-of-factly explains she’s a child “because of when I was born.” Miss Huang’s deadpan response is more than just a clever quip.

After all, if Miss Huang had been born in the 19th century, few people would question her presence in the workplace. The Industrial Revolution yielded accounts of children working 16-hour days and accorded no special protection because of their tender age and emotional vulnerability. Well into the 20th century, children younger than Miss Huang routinely worked in factories, mines and other dangerous environments.

Some legislators have even argued that humanities courses should be defunded entirely.
