I'm not anti-AI. I'm just pro-thinking.

What do I mean? I mean that everyone I know who is REALLY into AI uses it for reading EVERYTHING longer than 1000 words.

This is the mental equivalent of eating only smoothies, because they go down easier.

I say this with love: reading is thinking.

Stop letting slop think for you.

@raiderrobert i rarely use LLM not for fun, but one of cases i consider using it is to dehydrate unnecessarily large text. You know all this instructions «how to change light bulb» starting with 3 paragraph on what is light bulb, what is light, why we use them...

@mrclon I use scrolling for that :)

Also I think the ability to skim over large texts is quite important skill so I try to preserve it.

@raiderrobert

@shuro same, but sometimes it piss me off and i wat LLM to do it for me (and fucking mecha to kill retards who make such texts)

@raiderrobert

@mrclon I really do suspect you just hate writing in general, no matter how you're interacting with it. Your comment is barely literate.

Also, mature adults do not use that word the way you have. And don't pretend you don't know what I mean.

@wesdym i'm just not english native
@mrclon Okay, but that doesn't excuse laziness.

@shuro Indeed.

Learning how to quickly separate the important things from that already known is ... a very central thinking skill.

@raiderrobert @mrclon

@shuro It is a skill because your brain will spot and stop at key words, plus an unused brain is like any muscle, it will deteriorate.
It will be interesting to note a rise in early dementia cases in about 20 years.
