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 use LLMs every day and still read everything where it's appropriate.

One issue here is that we've been promoting long form content in the last 2 decades for SEO and attention hoarding so people's desire for shorter content is a natural correction for this.

@wraptile Yeah, I'm sure it's not because it's default human nature to take every opportunity to be lazy. Look around you. I think you know better.

I've met people who don't how to open their own car with their own key, because they've never NEEDED to know.

Humans are instinctively lazy. That's true in almost every situation can think of.

@wesdym I disagree with your reductionism here. Being "lazy" is not necessarily a bad thing as it pushes people to optimize and while using LLMs to summarize everything is an over optimization is mostly a temporary correction to a very suboptimal past experience. Finally people inheritly know when to stop and smell the flowers and if they don't they ought to be reminded of this througu nudging rather than being bullied.
@wraptile Uh-huh. Say, are you new to our planet?
