I'm not a psychology major, but this video was genuinely eye-opening. It made me understand my own phone habits in a completely new light. The story was easy to follow and very engaging. It's amazing that a creator could make something so professional and impactful using an AI video generator. It really brought the 'science' part to life for me in a way that articles never could.
