    Its good for my job… “I want to calculate the volume of a vessel and figure out what the maximum pressure might be”… Then AI will give me the correct formula for the volume and maximum pressure.

    Ok I hear you but how do you know you are getting the proper formula unless you already know it and AI is just refreshing your memory?

    I do the same, sometimes I forget the syntax of a lesser use function. It is borderline faster to ask AI than it is to go to the reference material (emphasis on borderline) but I only trust it because I would recognize if the info AI is giving me is inaccurate. Even at that it sucks because I have to sift through the rest of the buttering bullshit AI normally pads their answers with… it’s like trying to get a recipe off a recipe site, I don’t care where you learn the recipe lady or why it makes you cry

    Like a ruler, it’s a tool. I’m sure people did not fear rulers when they were first invented as much as people fear this AI thing which is nothing more than a statistical prediction system

    Ok, the reason we all fear (and should fear) THIS ruler is because making and using it is literally destroying our environment. Not only that, this ruler also comes with the great side effects of mass surveillance, loss of democracy, diminishing professional standards, cognitive decline, etc.
