Extremely disturbing is the image of the average person in 2050 created through artificial intelligence if we continue with the same frequency of spending our time in front sitting in front of screens.
Innovative pedometer app WeWard has created ‘Sam’, a simulation model that captures how a sedentary lifestyle affects the health of our body and face. Simply put through artificial intelligence we see what we will be like if we continue to sit and scroll on mobile for a long time.
WeWard leveraged artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, to create a picture of what humans might look like in 2050.
According to the World Health Organisation, 80% of teenagers globally do not get enough exercise, with the app warning of an ‘inactivity epidemic’ fueled by the modern ‘culture of convenience’.
Sam is presented with a hump from the so-called «teck neck», caused by poor posture while in front of screens and affects the shoulders and neck.
His eyes are land and crimsonwhich occurs from overexposure to blue light, which can cause dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision and premature skin aging.
The lack of exercise seen in the majority of young people combined with eating poor quality food, working from home and constantly engaging with social media in their spare time increases the risk heart diseases, strokes, diabetes, cancer and dementia, while they also cause obesity as well as feelings of depression and anxiety.
The app’s creators encourage users to upload their own photos to the tool to see what the “future of the sofa” will look like if they don’t change their habits.
