Remember, if you think you're dumb, there's people who use AI in their daily lives and are completely okay with being lobotomized by the big think machines whilst calling you an idiot for not using it.
No, It's NOT a 'handy tool' that takes away tedious steps from a task like a dishwasher for cleaning dishes or whatever.
It's an actual fucking parasite of a machine that takes away your ability to look shit up on the internet, to review it yourself, to check the sources and come to your own conclusion based off of that information.
AI doesn't 'do the hard work of looking up information for you', it just hallucinates the answer based on the fucking vibes of a handful of sources without citing them and presenting them as facts.
My dad, like the moron he is, has on the daily asked AI mundane questions he couldn't be arsed to google it (or whatever search engine you prefer because google itself is now AI slop too).
It's like watching a loved one get dementia and seeing the consequences in real time, it's fucking scary seeing someone you love get reduced to a moron, and worst of all they get fucking mad when you call them out for it!
"It just helps me" "I like the answers better" "I can understand what it says at least" YOU ARE ACTIVELY KILLING YOUR BRAIN BY NOT STIMULATING IT, BY NOT DOING YOUR OWN GODDAMN RESEARCH, AT IT PISSES ME OFF TO HIGH HELL THAT THESE MORONS ARE SO APATHETIC TO THEIR OWN DOWNFALL!
I was in the same school doing mostly the same subject (IT, so computers, networking etc), before and after covid.
Before covid, before the big boom of AI people were actually writing essays and shit, like yes you could see it was crude but godDAMNIT at least they wrote it and put some effort into it.
After covid, all of my classmates used AI, not a single damn essay besides my own was written by hand (or...keyboard rather) and all just prompted.
What baffled me most is that in the post-covid era there was someone in my class who did not know what an HDMI port was like...2/3rds into the year.
Mind you, this was not a beginner's class for IT, basic and somewhat advanced understanding of computers was expected, so not understanding what a goddamn HDMI port is is pretty baffling to say the least, and this was not the only case in the class.
The worst part?
The teachers were apathetic to it all, they knew they couldn't stop it because how do you even like...check on it?
Some teachers even used AI images in their presentations and...nobody but me was bothered by the obvious mistakes and melty artifacts??
AI will be our fucking downfall if we let it, it rots your brain to the point where basic skills cannot be assumed anymore.
Is it great for detecting cancer? Sure is, not gonna argue against that usage because at that point it becomes like a dishwasher in how useful it is, not to mention how it saves lives that way.
But for every other thing it can do it's a cancer itself because then people don't have to bother thinking anymore.
