How does AI contribute to cultural lag?

Jim O'Shaughnessy highlights that AI contributes to cultural lag by creating situations where people underestimate the extent of the lag that new technologies introduce. He discusses this in the context of people adapting to newer technologies, especially AI, which may not be as intuitive or easily accepted by all generations, particularly older ones. This lag refers to the time it takes for culture to catch up with technological advancements, a time during which people have difficulty adjusting their habits and understanding. O'Shaughnessy discusses this in relation to the broader concept of nostalgia, pointing out that people often cling to the familiar and may resist updating their ways in the face of technological change 1.
