If you only use the AI as a tool, to assist you but still think and make decisions on your own then you won’t have this problem.
I'll say this: a lot of people using AI, are not thinking or making decisions.
It’s true, honestly: and that is a problem. It’s so concerning. I’m not going to say it isn’t. I suppose I was just stating what I believe to be, how it should be.
I get it, you're an optimist about it.
Nothing wrong with that. I try to take a more practical/grounded view.
In my experience, most people actively avoid thinking. If it involves any measure of mental effort, they would just rather not.
I see it every day.
