* 8 million people to smoking.

The 1990’s saw one of the most effective smoking cessation campaigns in the world here in the US. There have been numerous case studies on it. It is clearly something we are working on and addressing (not just in the US)

* 4 million to obesity.

Obesity has been widely studied and identified as a major issue and is something doctors and beyond have been trying to help people with. You can’t just ban obesity, and clearly their efforts being made to understand it and help people.

* 2.6 million to alcohol

Plenty of studies and discussion and campaigns to deal with alcoholism and related issues, many of which have been successful, such as DUI laws.

* 2.5 million to healthcare

A complex issue that is in the limelight and several countries have attempted to tackle to vary degrees of success.

* 1.2 million to cars

Probably the most valid one on the list and one that I also agree is under addressed. However, there are numerous studies and discussions going on.

So let’s get back to AI and away from “what about…”: why is there so much resistance (like you seem to be putting up) to any study or discussion of the harmful effects of LLM’s, such as AI-induced psychosis?
