A major cost of technology is responsibility. E.g Facebook's cost w/ moderators, Google's cost w/ customer support for user's life data, etc...
Companies are more profitable whenever they can shift that responsibility to the end user or society-as-a-whole.
Technology empowers the individual at the cost of increased personal burden. Often it's not possible to opt-out either for economic of social reasons so responsibility requirements keep increasing
This isn't necessarily good... There's a point where the pressure becomes toxic especially to the life force of children, the young, and aspects associated with the young like carefree spirited living, open-mindedness, lack of existential-crisis', etc...
Everyone becomes "older" and more plastic and robotic, concerned with things like social status, making money, number optimization, etc... (scenes from The Little Prince) and have to deal with things like existential crisis' and depression at a younger age.
An explosion of AI tools is likely going to accelerate this trend...
