Before AI went public people quite willingly gave up thinking as soon as we got texting capability. To save keystrokes we took to abbreviating everything and creating simple slang terms for complex conditions, which trained us to think in those simplistic terms all the time. Now we gloss over most details because we don't think we need them. We know this guy is racist or that woman's a Karen because it's obvious, duh. Why bother considering multiple sides of a situation when somebody else already did the thinking for us and slapped on an easy to consume label? We can make value judgements so much faster now, allowing us to scroll ahead to the next item in our feed, or the next conversation subject, or the next voting decision. Barely scratching the surface is fine if you pretend that's all there is, and demonize anybody who thinks a situation deserves more thought.
