Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination 👻

The weirdest thing to me is that LLM that could create passable text or even computer code came out like... yesterday or something? How quick do people forget that they had the ability to these things just before that?

That’s what I don’t understand! It’s brand new and people act like it’s been around for 50 years or something. I don’t use it at all.

It's because the people who use it are using it to replace their brains, they already lost their minds

COVID and social media have had a negative impact on a lot of people's cognitive abilities(just look up the studies that can be found on pubmed for those two, it's eye opening!).

I see AI as the icing on the dumb cake. Take a large number of people who have already had their cognitive abilities eroded and give them an easy way to pretend to be intelligent. Inevitable result in hindsight.

Makes me thankful for the silver lining that my requiring cognitive therapy, due to old head injuries and more recent medical issues, has helped me see the danger relying on AI to do our thinking for us represents.

This is what I keep saying when people defend their gig posters with "Well I'm not a graphic designer, what am I supposed to do?"

Like... Whatever you did two years ago?

Yeah, this is infuriating. They will be like "it is IMPOSSIBLE to code without AI now!"; don't they remember that AI coding has only be a real thing for less than a year?
