> ...turning his brain off...This should be a wake-up call...

Yeah, but no. People substituting "AI" for actually thinking IS a huge problem with human nature. But trying to convince the average Tom's Hardware reader - let alone substantial decision makers - of that fact with an n=1, minimal stakes example from rural China? Try asking an experienced saleman if he would use such an example when he actually wanted to convinced his customer...vs. if his goal was to mock the supposed problem as meaningless.
