A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

For me, it was when my friend told me he uses Twitter AI to tell him things to buy. My hope for humanity was already gone, but that definitely didn't help it. That, and the fact younger people don't search anymore, they go right to a chat bot.

Reading comprehension and writing are two things that stand out to me. I've noticed people don't want to expend the mental effort to read long prose so they'll just ask for a summary of it. Same goes for writing emails or reports.

Critical thinking skills are a like muscle that needs to be used or else it will atrophy. Asking AI to think for me is like going to the gym and asking the trainer to lift weights for me.
