It worries me how many people prefer using AI over doing their own thinking. How much of your life will you "live" on autopilot? Hollowing out your own soul little-by-little when you do things like that.
This is 100 times scarier, and more likely, than the "chatgpt will become skynet and nuke the world" and "Ai will replace every jobs in 5 years" pipe dreams
The even scarier thing is, there are people I know who are well educated etc and in my conversations with them I hear more and more about how they are relying on chatgpt for information re. surgery and illness and so on. As if chatgpt came up with the information itself, as opposed to, being a more superior interface that uses the same data as Google Search - at least with Google Search you actively knew you the source of the information.
I believe this speaks to something deeper about humans - only those with great discipline will be able to prevent themselves from being sucked in and losing their valuable human capital. It doesnt seem to matter whether one is dumb or smart.
