To the extent that these things are problems, they are both problems today. There are insular Amish communities that shut out as much modern culture as they can, and hikkikomori living alone with their body pillows.
AI may exacerbate the existing issues, but on the whole I don’t feel like the world is drastically worsened by the presence of these groups.
I disagree that this isn’t concerning. For one thing, these bubbles typically aren’t good for the people inside of them. For another, we can ignore them only because they’re a tiny portion of the population. ASI could increase the prevalence to most of the population, at which point politics (and perhaps other systems) goes off the rails.
