@chris @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven Here's my question... is it really, solving the problem for you? Like, actually? Given all of the costs in the full context of how it operates?

I don't believe that it is.

Can you trust everything it outputs? Are you able to catch any problems with it 100% of the time? Are you somehow able to avoid it anchoring your thinking around a particular method?

Let's assume it does solve the problem, and that somehow a purely ethical AI is produced that magically solves the labor, environment, plagiarism issues, and that is correct 100% of the time.

Even if it does, you are slowly eroding your ability to solve problems of that nature independent of the agent.

No matter how careful you are, no matter how smart, how skilled, how well-versed.

You cannot beat cognitive surrender.

@chris @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven So, given that we have NOT solved all those other problems, do you think there's even a 10% efficiency gain?

I think I was pretty generous with 10%.

@chris @distractal @sinbad @JeremiahFieldhaven i dont think you know what those words mean

and if your solveing depression with AI well thats depressing and sounds like how people talk about alcohol

@glassresistor Nope! I don't know in the slightest what it means, and I can't guess either. I also have to consult a dictionary to define pretty much anything in a reasonable fashion, so I guess I have no firm grasp of the English language, either.

I bet like most of the people I've run into on this network of servers, that you probably have a doctorate on the subject, though. Everyone I know seems to have a doctorate on something, while I, the lowly slacker, never aspired to finish public school and took the GED to get the hell out of structured education. Discipline is not for me. More like being constantly disciplined.
