spaced out

in the next 5 years maybe sooner we will discover that AI usage is like cigarettes literally. It’s altering peoples brains it’s making everyone stupid, less creative, less willing to accept anything but a sycophantic response to anything they say. People at work are saying “I asked Claude” as if Claude is a real person instead of listening to me, a real human being with ideas and a soul. the work AI has auth issues today and flickered off very briefly, and the entire company had a meltdown, tickets paging everyone to please get this thing back up we are completely blocked without this app that we all were perfectly fine without just a year ago. it’s like asbestos or lead, it’s dangerous and harmful and altering our brain chemistry and years from now we’ll have the proof but for now it’s just me thinking im alone because everyone else around me who uses it is either forced to and keeps quiet about their fears, or else they actually really believe it’s helping them and they’re going to defend it with everything they’ve got

see unfortunately I have this condition where if I am not explicitly told that I am a part of the ingroup then I will assume I must be part of the outgroup
