"First, the researchers surveyed engineers at a Taiwanese biomedical firm. Within that group of 166 employees, there was a correlation between use of AI and feeling lonelier, which was, in turn, correlated with drinking more, and sleeping less."
pretty sure this "study" is invalid.
first step is the mgmnt of this biomed firm needs to rethink they way they are treating thier people, I highly doubt thier quality of life degraded AFTER AI and only because of AI not because of outsized management expectations of what people can do with AI (im already seeing this)
