Is not AI its dumb people who use it
This is like saying guns don't kill people.
well they dont lol
But AI is also making people even more intellectually lazy than they already were.
AI is not some natural disaster or alien invasion who appeared suddenly and enforcing something on people; its made by people and being used by people. People can misuse any technology in any way, they can make themselves or others smarter or more dumb. We can take any tool or technology from stick with attached stone to nuclear power and it will be people who decide how to use it, not technology deciding how to use people. Hysteria around "AI=bad" just reminds of printing press appearance when books would become more accessible which led to beliefs that people will become more stupid. Also blaming technology and not actors who misuse it such as corporations or governments makes them don't look evil and responsible for misusage. Not saying that for many autistic people AI chatbots are very helpful in daily life.
