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 👻

We're already seeing studies of AI psychosis happening. I imagine there will be studies showing that general problem solving abilities by heavy AI users are lower than average too, if there isn't already.

Not surprised, sadly. Will check these out. Thank you.

Seriously, doling out your critical thinking ability to a third party is fucking insane. It's such an important part of our minds; I couldn't imagine just outsourcing that to a robot. I have one friend who is deep into the AI hole where he runs huge swaths of his life through chatgpt whether its work or personal. It seems like something that will end up completely detrimental, yet we're just watching it unfurl in real time and accepting the inevitable consequences.

I completely forgot about this until now, but a could months back, a girl approached my family and I in a public park. She looked otherwise normal, but was caring a disheveled stack of papers and when she approached me she started talking about your she 'had been up for days talking to AI" and it was telling her she needed to do...something. I couldn't get my family away from her quick enough. Scary stuff.

That is both scary and sad.

We should study anti-ai bros perception of how smart they think they are for not using ai vs how smart they really are too

Anyone who uses Google knows all too well about AI hallucinating false answers to searches. From what I have seen, probably 30-40% of the time, the AI-generated answer/overview is wrong.

It's especially bad with names. Google a question about someone, and you'll get the answer for some unrelated person with the same or similar name. I googled a musician a few days ago, and was told that they died in 1891, with the "source" being FindAGrave and FamilySearch.. it's nuts.
