Okay but I use AI with great concern for truth, evidence, and verification. In fact, I think it has sharpened my ability to double-check things.
My philosophy: use AI in situations where a high error-rate is tolerable, or if it's easier to validate an answer than to posit one.
There is a much better reason not to use AI -- it weakens one's ability to posit an answer to a query in the first place. It's hard to think critically if you're not thinking at all to begin with.
I just think it's good at summarizing things and maybe possibly pointing me in a direction to correct code. But if I trust it too much it will break my system. And I'll be spouting off disinformation. I feel if artificial intelligence was introduced to the public outside of a time of economic decline (haha) and the intentions of imperialist wars, we might have kind of eased into it in a way that was more productive. But honestly, I think, and I don't know how authoritarian they will be about this, but I mean, if the consumer doesn't like it, what good is it for the business? I see the bubble popping and people crashing. It's just got bad vibes, you know? No finesse.
