Auf Knopfdruck generierte Texte: Warum ich seit KI anders über digitale Technik denke

DER SPIEGEL
"The term #cognitivemiser, first introduced by the American psychologists Susan #Fiske and Shelley Taylor in 1984, describes how humans seek the simplest and least effortful ways of thinking. Nuance and complexity is expensive – it takes up precious time and energy – so wherever possible we try to cut corners.
The Stoic philosopher (and former slave) Epictetus opined that ‘men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them’."
