Did you not read my entire comment? I am extremely skeptical that you’d be here leaving this comment about parents “destroying” their kids vision if we were talking about kids and reading paper books. You’re pushing a narrative that screens in particular destroy vision, and it’s bogus. And I haven’t even looked that study up, but I’m guessing the effect size is pretty damn small, so I’m guessing you’re also being hysterical and over-reactive too. Because this isn’t about vision, it’s a moral panic about screens, and now AI. Yawn.
- imp0cat 3mo agoIt was you who posted links to the study. I only pointed out that the study concludes that: > The kids who spent more time indoors (reading or on their devices) were more likely to get myopia or severe myopia." You can look up what myopia means. Hint: It has nothing to do with AI, this is about vision.
- senordevnyc 3mo agoExactly, the study has nothing to do with AI, and yet you’re here pushing a narrative that AI / screens destroy vision in some unique way. You wouldn’t comment about books. But this thread couldn’t be less interesting, so I’m out.
- imp0cat 3mo agoFine. Just for the record, I never said that AI causes nearsightedness. It's the increase in screen use.
