What is with everyone just blindly accepting AI to do everything for them? i swear, we have become a primitive people that worship technology like the savages in old movies, shows and real life.
I do see a lot of benefits to be had for the average individual, but it's definitely going to be a challenge for a fair number of people to strike a fair balance between a useful tool and helpless, mindless dependency.
In this case scenario, I'm fairly certain that turning to AI like goes against the spirit and purpose of such religious pursuits and activities. And I say this as someone who is not religious or spiritual at all, while still understanding the intentions and meaning.
I grew up as a tech nerd kid surrounded by computer stuff and parts and all the stupid pain in the ass to connect peripherals that were all the thing in the 90s. So it's safe to say I was in to that stuff. Today I often feel like a luddite. I'm sitting here with my watch that runs on springs and gears messaging on a low end smart phone about to get into a car that barely has a clock much less a touchscreen and you have to shift manually.
The thing is I have tech stuff, I've got Raspberry pis and a NAS and some cloud VMs. I'm still that tech kid. I just hate all this modern trendy tech. Never talked to AI either. I have tested it for some artwork but not extensively. That would be to replace skills I don't have.
People don't realize what they are doing interacting with this shit. Just entering a prompt into chatgpt is offering consent that has ramifications we cannot imagine and starts a ball rolling in one direction: down.

I literally make my living working with computers as a sysadmin and I am ready to lead the Butlerian Jihad myself.
