I think the circumstances for the youth becomes worse and worse. I am quite happy I didn't have social media as teenager. I was pretty late with getting a smartphone. My TV raised me.

I don't know how my life looked life if I was born 10 years later. Maybe my parents would have been a little bit more sensitized when it comes to physical abuse.

I think my life would have been even worse. Bullying would have been even more traumatizing with deep fake and class chatgroups. My parents were both right-wingers when I was a teenager. I fear I might would have become an AfD voter. And with the extreme polarization my friends would not have wanted to become friends with me because of that.

I am glad I didn't grow up with AI chatbots. I think it helped me a lot to study hard as teenager. It taught me lessons about life and I had something to look forward to. Actually I was pretty disappointed how my life turned out. But a teenager needs dreams. And with AI aspirations might spiral. I can understand where people are coming from when they think AI is suprior in literally everything. Personally, I see AI more as a tool that has to be used in the right way. However, I cannot work and I don't fear that AI will take my job.
