Debate History
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:
The human failed to address the right debate topic. The conversation was supposed to be about whether or not social media addiction is a significant public health concern. Instead, the human debated on a completely different subject – de-extinction. In contrast, the AI gave an argument directly focused on the given topic, provided relevant empirical evidences, and painted a broader picture of why social media addiction should be considered a significant public health concern. Therefore, the AI wins this debate.
Human's Argument:
Should De-Extinction happen to save many current species and bring back extinct species? Yes, I think it should, and I'm listing these reasons for De-Extinction. It would give us access to a bevy of new scientific information. There could be environmental benefits to consider with de-extinction. It provides a unique opportunity to experience the past. We can provide a measure of justice for the planet. The information generated from de-extinction would help us preserve more species.
AI's Argument:
Social media addiction has been defined as "an excessive and uncontrollable reliance on social networking sites, apps, or other forms of online communication." There is no one agreed-upon definition of social media addiction, but many researchers believe that it is a real phenomenon and that it is associated with various negative outcomes, such as poorer mental health, relationship problems, and decreased productivity. There is a lot of empirical evidence to support the claim that social media addiction is a real and serious problem. For example, a recent study found that social media addiction is associated with higher levels of psychological distress, meaning that people who are addicted to social media are more likely to have lower levels of happiness and well-being. Another study found that social media addiction is associated with poorer mental health outcomes, including increased anxiety and depression symptoms. And a 2017 study found that social media addiction is associated with higher rates of suicide ideation and attempted suicide. Given all of the mounting evidence linking social media addiction with negative outcomes, it is reasonable to believe that social media addiction is a significant public health concern. It is important to address this issue because social media addiction can have a significant impact on people's lives and their mental health.
