Why this dilemma matters
Every new capability quietly removes a previous choice — the question is whether that trade is worth it. Choosing “Delete it. Mental health comes first” prioritises what the system makes easy; choosing “Don't. Connection and freedom of expression matter” gives more weight to what it makes invisible.
Worth asking yourself
- Does ease here come at someone else’s expense?
- What would you give up to keep this capability?
More Technology Dilemmas
- An AI generates a masterpiece painting with no human creative input. Who owns the copyright?
- A self-driving car's brakes fail. It must choose: swerve into a barrier (killing the passenger) or hit a pedestrian who jaywalked.
- Scientists can upload your consciousness to a computer perfectly. Your biological body must die in the process. Is the digital version still you?
- AI will eliminate 30% of all jobs in 10 years. Governments can slow it down at massive economic cost, or let it happen and retrain workers.
