Which will be viewed more negatively at the end of 2025?
"My child spends hours a day playing video games" resolves NO.
"My child spends hours a day talking with chatbots like chatGPT" resolves YES.
I won't bet on this market. I'm open to suggestions for resolution mechanisms. Some kind of poll probably.
