Will history judge this generation kindly for how it handled the AI boom

[Eastern Aaron]

Every big technological shift eventually gets a verdict from history, the internet, social media, smartphones, all judged years later on how well people actually navigated the transition rather than just how exciting it felt in the moment

AI is clearly having its own version of that moment right now. Fast forward ten years and imagine someone writing the retrospective chapter on this exact period, the decisions made, the habits formed, the guardrails built or skipped

Genuinely curious what people think that chapter says, does this generation come across as having handled it thoughtfully, or does it read like a cautionary tale about moving too fast

Cautionary tale, we're repeating the same move fast mistakes from social media almost exactly
