i think it's neat how every time i make something i get a little better at making things, and every time you rent the ability to make things from a slop machine you get a little worse at making things. imagine how talented we'll both be after a few years of this :3
@aeva In my being required to use AI in my job, I have poked at ChatGPT in a problem-solving context, and it's clear how quickly I become unable to think for myself. "Let's just ask ChatGPT to get the creative juices flowing." And then I just spend the afternoon discussing the problem with an AI that has no true understanding of the problem, and I realize that a lot of what it suggests is pretty "empty," and I'd have been more productive on my own.
