I've been banging this drum at my university. No one seems to care. The party line is that AI is wonderful, and it is my job to figure out how to get my students to use this amazing new thing. No concern that we might be keeping them from being self-sufficient thinkers for the rest of their lives.
OH "It's like if Uber hit you with a car and broke your legs so badly that you had to spend the rest of your life taking and paying for Ubers."
That's the entirety of it too. Look at the studies of AI coming out of MIT; that shit rots your brain
This week my management (we're lawyers, don't hate us) put out a policy that no one should use AI in their writing and if they did it would be considered misconduct and I was SOOOO HAPPY! They didn't rule out future use, so ehhh, but they did emphasize how unreliable it is now. I'll take the win.
As a note, doing things like reading, doing puzzles, learning a new language etc. slow cognitive decline.
I wonder what the Alzheimer's numbers are gonna look like in a few decades.
Build an entire society of brainless sheeple who will have no choice but to pay them
Sounds a lot like pay us to use your brain with information that may or may not be all wrong
This is why I'm not touching this shit with a 49 and a half foot pole. The way the industry is operating currently is so clearly trying to create a user base that's completely dependent on their product, then pull the rug out from under them and charge them up the ass.
AI: the first hit's free.
"We see a future where [fundamentally and quintessentially human trait] is a utility ... and people buy it from us" is so wonderfully amoral and dystopian. I couldn't distill a more blatantly horrifying evil sentence if I tried.
