Yes, it's a cultural problem. A failure of responsibility, a lapse into collective delusion that fails to take the limits of truth and physical reality seriously, in favour of a dream world made of status and money.

AI in theory could be a transformative technology. In practice it's the final product of a self-destructive system that has lost contact with the real world.
