You still have to meet a chatgpt relay drone then. I’ve met some. The conversation with them is basically you asking them something (usually about their assumed field of expertise) and them relaying to you whatever bullshit the chatbot vomits to them. Especially fun when you meet them in a working context where they are supposedly an “expert” that comes to solve an issue for you.
It cuts to ONE OF the roots of the problem. It’s just not the “evil gigacorp” problem.
It’s the problem of the effect on the user, regardless of how evil or altruistic the AI and its creator are.
I have lamented in a few comments recently about how many people seem to think the purpose of technology is to make it so they don’t have to put effort into their life. They don’t need to learn, and they don’t need to create. They just need the right technology and a good enough bank balance to pay for it.
I’m a tech person but for the last couple years I have made my hobbies and home life as much about nature and life sciences and physically interacting with the outdoors, building shit, taking care of my animals, etc. It has been very very good.
Many studies have been released recently about the rapid loss of cognitive abilities and skills due to the use of AI. It’s like how driving everywhere causes your muscles to atrophy, except it’s your critical thinking and reasoning skills, and it starts to happen within days or weeks of relying upon AI to do the work for you. Programmers who use AI and then stop have been found to write worse code after they stopped using AI than before they started, even for basic tasks. Reliance becomes dependence as you can no longer do the work yourself.
And those studies are very context dependent and type of tech dependent etc etc etc, but because it fits your preconceived biases because you dislike AI generally you parrot it blindly. Kind of ironic don’t you think?
Some anti AI people are so corny. Like there’s so much to hate about AI. It’s evil in tons of different ways. But this just comes off as ignorant.
Its literally not tho, it’s pretty accurate.
Also I’d rather be corny and sincere then idiotic and fake.
lol right?
It does actually rot your brain though. Like that is literally true information.
thanks for proving their point

people that dumb would’ve previously been even more wrong than the chatbot they’re using though
yes I came to the comments to say this! it’s very depressing. people who choose to not use their brain should not have access to llms

well now you’re just being rude
Nah it’s pretty funny, this accurately describes a bunch of people (as accurately as a meme can or should, anyway)
was waiting for when it becomes a wierd al yankovic joke. it didn’t
Agreed. Lots of great reasons to hate on AI, but this isn’t one of them.

This meme is quite literally true.

Even before the advent of LLMs, more than half of Americans couldn’t read beyond a 6th grade level.
Correlation != causation, but unfortunately the aforementioned problem affects a lot of people.
