This isn't new, it's a couple of years old and has been posted here several times.
Your comment isnt new either, shouldnt have typed it
nothing is new
There is a thousands of years old version of this that include the phrase βunder the sun.β
i know
New is new.
new is old
You said nothing is new though lol So nothing and old is new?
yes
Under the sun am i right?
Correct.
So demanding AI creates something new is dumb.
It's a repost, but a good one.
Yes, please do all these things, I'm le tired.
Well, have a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!
Itβs a fair statement. Horrifyingly so.
Fuck AI and all that for the ethical implications, but the comment is dumb because they are placing their contempt on people who may lack certain skills rather than on IP theft, environmental waste, or exploitation.
People literally hire other people to tasks all the time because they can't, don't have time, or it's not their role. We literally have robots to wash and dry our asses for us. Replace AI with service or employee in the comment and it reads as ignorant. Replace AI with assistive technology and it gets really mean.
TL;DR The problem isn't that people need help with tasks, it's with the ethics of how the help is created. The comment misses this distinction.
The unsaid part, which to be fair, maybe should be said out loud, is that without this access hoards of people, somehow, developed skills through trial and error, through practice, through interacting in classes, without chat GPT.
As is, itβs like pushing a button and having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich pop out, instead of bothering to learn how to make peanut butter and jelly. Sadly, this may lead to someone who with peanut butter in the cupboard, jelly in the fridge, clean cutlery and dishes, and bread canβt figure out how to make peanut butter and jelly with all these elements in place, ready to go. Instead, they look for the peanut butter and jelly button, and when that button is unavailable, spin in place trying to figure out how to solve this problem while experiencing incredible anxiety and helplessness.
This is not to say that there are not outliers in the population who would need such a button. There certainly are. The concern is turning the middle of the bell curve inside out by training it into being helpless to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the peanut butter and jelly button.
The practice of making this seemingly simple sandwich does potentially reach for more complex food preparation tasks, in a ripple effect, that remain lacking in the presence of the button. Across contexts.
Iβm not purist on tech. I love it, clearly, Iβm on Lemmy. But overreliance on chat GPT undermines the development of critical thinking and creativity which is needed not just in most jobs but in addressing anxiety, solving day to day problems, and developing a personality.
Moreover, sooner or later, that button WILL be locked behind a paywall. 100%, counting on people to spin in place, anxious as fuck, until they bleed money they donβt have to get chatGPT back.
Cover letters are, of course, the exception as theyβve always been utter bullshit better written by a dead thing than a human being.
https://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.html This article has been going around lately and it's a great summation of strong anti-AI arguments in context of their dominant form as tools made by billionaires for billionaire goals.
I think the debate around reducing complex tasks into simple and ignorant ones (pressing a button) is worthwhile, but not the most urgent one. Most car owners used to know basics of how engines worked in order to do basic repairs. Now they're more complex and most people don't know what a piston or timing belt is, you just take it into the shop. And really, does the parent with a reliable econobox for getting from A to B really need to know? Same thing with PCs. But there's still a healthy proportion of people who are into these things and preserve and innovate the knowledge.
The standards of necessary life skills also change over time. Baking bread, food preservation, fire starting & wood handling, penmanship, paper map navigation, phone etiquette, etc... these used to be basic life skills. For a good 1-2 generations, installing software from physical media and manual updates, configuring email clients, and keyword searching has been the norm. Now those skills are becoming less relevant.
This isn't an argument for AI, it's more reflecting on the fear around losing skills and what really matters. The argument around critical thinking and creativity are more pressing to me. But it's also not a new argument. Similar arguments have been made around new media in the past, around novels, radio, TV, videogames, and most recently Gen-Z's post-covid social media-fueled not-so-social ways of being. Of course the context and speed of AI re: big data is novel, but the themes are the same. It's a scary inflection point with massively disruptive implications for how humans do and do not interact with each other and express themselves.
If I may make an argument for faith in humanity, it is true that humans are deeply lazy and refuse to change until it's too late. Humans are also deeply curious, creative, and are constantly inventing new ways to interact πΈπ©π. While I think we have to be vigilant about fostering critical thinking and creativity. We are also in a period of great upheaval, oppression, and hardship. Tragically, it is also during such times that humans create the greatest art and think the most critically.
Pretty sure any wife would get a robo dildo that knows how to seduces her with the right words.
lets be clear.
as soon as they are available in Amazon EVERYONE will fuck chat GPT. EVERYONE!!!!!
Lol i had a friend who worked at an amazon warehouse and he said they shipped way too many dildos.
be me
