To be honest, for a lot of people this is a good decision. AI is already better at cognition and research than a fairly good chunk of the population. If they start thinking at a reasonable level with the help of AI, we all will benefit. Obviously Grok isn’t the best choice but still probably better than what a lot of them would come up with on their own.

AI doesn’t have cognition and it doesn’t do research, it’s a piece of software that cannot think or learn.

Yeah I’ve heard this before. People who are confident about things they know nothing about say it.

But the end result is that AI’s produce more accurate answers than the bottom half of humans the vast majority of the time.

Feel free to argue your uninformed theories about how they work all you want, seeing as no one knows it well nor does anyone really understand how our brains think.
