Would you say the same thing about heroin users? That they have “revealed” a preference for heroin by continually using an addictive product?

And if so, how morally bankrupt are we as a country that we throw kids to the wolves that is AI-induced addiction rather than, I don’t know, regulating the industry? I got into tech because I like programming and making cool things, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with cold blooded abuse of kids to make a dollar.

Well, back when drug use only affected “the inner city” the country use to say it’s because of lack of morals, not putting God first and “absentee fathers”.
