Rebecca Watson on why AI is different (and more pernicious) than other tools (www.youtube.com)

I thought this was a pretty good video. Frankly, I disagree with what a lot of people in anti-AI communities say about the superiority of doing things the hard way. I don't think there's anything wrong with the easy way if it gets you the same result, and I don't think we've lost anything meaningful just because, say, the average person no longer has any phone numbers memorized. I think technology making life easier is a good thing.

But, as Rebecca Watson points out, so-called AI doesn't just replace things like rote memorization. It replaces thinking. That's dangerous, and therein lies the difference between AI and other tools.

I 100℅ agree. I just don't like being misleading, even if the statement lines up with my own views.

I understand you here, there's nothing to say. :3
