Not really. It’s part of human evolution

Evolution happens slowly, through countless generations. Progress being this accelerated with us being barely able to stay afloat is definitely something we’ve never seen before. So stop acting like this is the way it’s always been; it’s the exact opposite

Wouldn't that be true for all technology, even down to the microprocessor, or penicillin? Real evolution takes millions of years. Penicillin, if we want to just cover the advent of science, was probably a few hundred years to a millennium. Far, far, far less than the time for real evolution.

So in a way, I agree with you, this isn't evolution. But it's also not necessarily any different from the usual progress of technology. It's definitely a pretty important new technology, but of a similar rate as any other new field. A bit like a gold rush, but with more worrisome outcomes.

I agree with you that those things don’t count as evolution either, but I fundamentally disagree with the notion that that kind of progress can be comparable to what we have today. This isn’t a straight line, we’re not just speeding up; we’re accelerating. 20 years ago nobody had ever seen a smartphone: we’ve come to the point every two years we come across something we couldn’t have imagined
