Now a days people refer to AI instantly for an answer. Maybe it’s a problem they could have solved within 10min in their head or a question they could have done an internet search on and read a few forums to figure out. However, now people go straight to AI which is known to give many many wrong answers.

I know a couple people that fit this bill and now I almost completely disregard what they say. We’ll even be talking face to face and they’ll ask AI something from our conversation in real time.

    Not totally, but if they ask for an answer or ask AI to do something for them so they dont have to think im suspect.

    I think AI can be useful, I use it to help me edit and proof my writing, but I specifically wont let it rewrite my words. I will let it make suggestions for clarity and grammar but thats the limit.

    I will use AI to generate a meme level image, but im not going to use it for a presentation or as part of something that would have been a paid element.

    I have played with using it to help me prototype some software, but I still read all the code, and I still take the time to understand what its writing.

    AI replacing your own thoughts is bad, AI helping you refine and extend your thoughts is mostly ok.

        Better be afraid of them new-fangled digital calculators too! Real calculations should be done by people. Having them performed by computers will make us dumber.

        It’s a tool. It can be used right and wrong. Being afraid of the tool because it is being used wrong doesn’t make it go away, and doesn’t make it less useful.
